Smokin Joe, do you think they're trying to avoid small private groups?
They want you in their larger classes.

Smokin Joe, Friends did group lessons for 3 kids and 1 adult spread obver 3 sessions. Much better value than that

There'll be some who pay it.

I paid for a one hour private lesson for my GF at the Snowdome. It was £70. I thought that it was a bit steep, but when I saw how much she progressed in one hour compared to the group lesson going on at the same time I felt that it was worth the extra. By the end she was snowploughing from top to bottom, the group lesson was still sidestepping 10m up from the bottom and then snowploughing down.

Smokin Joe, can you all book into a group lesson at an off-peak time - Weds AM say. Probably will end up with a near private lesson.
|
|
|

£60 will get you four 1 hour private lessons at our local Dryslope.
|
|
|
|
|

You know it makes sense.
|
CAN$600 will get you a full days private lesson with me, including taxes, not including tip

Sage, A little bit less unless you go to one of the well-known british outfits. Local ESF €270. Me: €300 - 6 hours
Xscape is too expensive!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

easiski, Half the price of Xscape then and in a better enviroment - a bargain, if I'm ever in LDA I'll know where to come.
|
|
|

And cheap at twice the price, I would add.

Smokin Joe, lampbus, sunderland used to be a pretty nice slope. Several rollers and quite steep as I recall - can't say about what it's like now though.

easiski, sounds like it hasnt changed.
There is a main slope with a buton and rope tow, with a shorter,narrower slope parallel & a beginner slope with a rope tow.
I like the rollers, much more like a real mountain

Not really. Market forces in play here.
You can have up to 5 in your "private" session, so CAN$600 for 5 people is a bargian. And anyways, the clients around me think nothing of having 3 private instructors, one for each kid. Or booking me for the entire day to go shopping with, or being a tour guide.
Full day is 9 till 3.

Is shopping particularly challenging in Whistler? Is there scope for shopping-only guides? I can think of one or two friends who could do that (fortunately not family members, although the daughter might be ready in few years).
