Prices are the same for all Vail Mountain & Beaver Creek Ski and Snowboard School Guides & Instructors and are set by and paid to Vail Resorts.
The lowest rate is for advance off-peak bookings and the highest price is the holiday walk-up rate.
Please go to vail.com or beavercreek.com for actual rates.
Ski School sold out a lot in 2021-22. In an effort to attract more instructors, Vail Resorts has raised the starting salary to $20/hour, but this is no guarantee that there won't be sell outs this season also. Be sure to BOOK EARLY to get the best rate and instructor availability.
Vail Resorts website has stated, "Gratuities for coaches are not a requirement but an appropriate and appreciated gesture. A 15-20% gratuity based on the cost of the lesson will make your coach feel very appreciated and valued."
Please contact me if you have any questions or to check on availability for your desired date(s). Past clients have priority booking for the dates we skied together last season. In most cases, if I am unavailable, I can refer you to another top pro who will help you to achieve your skiing goals.
