$355 for 3 Hours
Are US Ski Instructors more than twice as effective as their European
counterparts? Visitors to Breckenridge this year (like us) will find that a 3 hour private lesson costs $355. The same service in Val Gardena, Italy is charged at less than $150. Why the difference? Insurance? Quality of service, or just the figure the school can get away with charging?

I'm betting it's insurance. That's where most of your lift ticket dollar goes in the US, at least, and I'm betting it's the same for instruction. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug.

Mary, you should know better than to repeat that insurance canard. Insurance is even today a small part of ticket prices.
