My boss just told me yesterday that for his 7 & 11 year old he paid
$800 for 3 days of ski instrution at Heavenly.
I know that their 3 hour lesson there is $115 and if it is good depends
heavily on the instructor. Some just slack off while others are very
good. A whole day private instructor is like $500 or so.
From an instructor I heard that Sierra is much better for beginners.
Heavenly costs $71 for a day pass! And for lunch you can easily
calculate $15 per person for a hamburger and a soda.
Heavenly has great views of the lake, though. Beautiful.
