Donor Money: Ski School Pros’

Official Philanthropic Currency

Pay it Forward

Ski School Pros is a “Pay it Forward” service. We donate our time to recruit and coordinate with top instructors, guides and coaches to put you on their personal ski school schedules.

We kindly ask that you consider purchasing a Donor Money Philanthropic Gift Card.

While purchasing Donor Money does not guarantee that Ski School Pros will be able to find you an available instructor or guide, 100% of Donor Money sales are passed onto the organization you choose to support. 

Philanthropic Asset Reserve

The Philanthropic Asset Reserve (PAR)  makes impact investments and nonprofit grants.

As an alternatively to purchasing a Donor Money Gift Card, you can make a donation to the Philanthropic Asset Reserve (PAR) as your way of “Paying it Forward.” Put good Karma on your side! 

PAR is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) sponsored by Impact Assets, a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit. Your PAR donation is 100% deductable as permited by the US Tax Code.

Don't Be Shy. Get In Touch.

Please use the form linked to the calendar to request a private lesson instructor or guide. If there is no availability shown on your desired date, you may pick the closest available date (and put the dates you want in the notes section). Be advised that many Vail Resort managed ski schools are selling out frequently due to instructor shortages and are giving instructors less flexibility to add days to their work schedule to accomodate private lesson guest requests.

Remember, requesting a specific instructor doesn't cost you extra and typically puts more money into the instructors pocket.  Private lessons are not cheap, so make sure you get your moneys worth by having the best instructor possible.
