That was it and we watched the whole lesson- no lesson on how to turn, no lesson on how to get up once you fall. There were 2 instructors who walked the kids to the bunny slope, showed them pizza and french fries positions and let them go.

Needless to say even the $20 wasn't worth it. When we checked in, they tried to overcharge us for the lesson (they broke up the group and charged us $140 for the first 4 and $20 for the 5th girl). (We thought we were going the wrong direction b/c there was no sign directing us). There were very few people, very few cars and a 1/4 mile of construction which you had to drive through before you came to the lodge. When we showed up at 10am, we thought the place was closed. The semi private would cost $70 (not including skiis) for the first 2 people and $20 for each additional. Also, b/c they said the group lessons would 'fill up fast'. We signed up for lessons and decided on a semi private because we had 5 girls, one of whom was too young to be in a group lesson.

I went up on MLK weekend with a group of friends and their kids, none of whom had ever been skiing.
