RATES AND TIMES FOR 2007-2008 REGULAR SEASON (December 15-April 6)*:
*Low season rates April 7-20: 3 hours--$390; 6 hours--$560. Rates are subject to change by the resorts. Check for final prices when you book. Separate lift tickets are also required. Bill has a few Vail Resort discount lift tickets available for those who book lessons with him--first come, first serve. Inquire of Bill using contact info at page bottom. Note that group lessons cannot be scheduled for a particular instructor. For information on the above resorts, go to Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, and Heavenly Valley: exits or Arapahoe Basin: exits. Some Lesson-taking cost-saving strategies and considerations to help you get the most value: For multi-person (up to 6 persons) "private" lessons you may organize your session so that some of your party is being taught while others are skiing or resting and then switch roles (especially useful in private-lesson groups with mixed skill or interest levels). With this tactic you can reduce costs by booking full-day lessons rather than getting separate half-day lessons for group members. For instance, one full day regular-season lesson costs $610 versus the total for two half-day lessons of $850. If you start in the morning with a half-day lesson ($425), you may extend to a full-day lesson for just $185 additional. This add-on option can be useful if you are uncertain of your available time or are unsure you will have the stamina for a full-day lesson. Even if you don't take an hour or so of the full 6 hours your cost will be less than if you took two half-day lessons. The risk is that Bill may get booked by another party in the afternoon before you decide to extend. Because the ski slopes at Breckenridge open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m. (you can catch your last ride then, extending your ski day a bit), a full-day or 6 hour lesson can be stretched out over almost 8 hours, allowing for lunch and rest breaks. Half-day lessons--especially the morning one if starting at 9:00 a.m.--must end in just 3 hours, however, so Bill can get lunch and report for his afternoon assignment; this leaves less flexibility in timing but, if you wish, a break can still be taken within the lesson time. You may request on-slope private video analysis―at no extra charge―by letting Bill know in advance (conditions permitting). Your taped performance can be copied and mailed to you free if you wish. Bill can bring a camera or use the on-slope service provided by the ski school when available. At Breckenridge you may also make an appointment to use an hour of private lesson time to have a video made on the slopes of your choice, to be edited and sent to you free. Running gates with or without timed results is free at the Vail Resort ski areas for private lesson students of skill level 6 and up, when the course is open. This includes competing in NASTAR (National Standard Race). Share your personal skiing information with Bill so he can plan the best experience to meet your needs and wishes.
