How long of a lesson should I take? |
|
A.
If it is a
one on one situation one hour can be sufficient. However,
a
lot of improvement can be seen in the extra 2 hours. If there is
more than one person in the lesson I recommend at least 2 hours. I also
recommend taking lessons for two or three consecutive days so that you can go out
and play with what you’ve learned and then we can build on that before you
forget it. |
| 5)
Do you travel to other areas with clients and
ski with them there? |
| .
A.
Absolutely, I’ve traveled with clients to Steamboat, Vail,
Beaver Creek, Breckenridge,
Ski
Cooper. And Taos. In fact I’ve taught in Taos and still have a
great working relationship with them so if you’re planning a
trip up there give me a call. “Have
skis will travel.” |
| 6)
What do you charge when you teach out of town? |
|
A. $250
/ day plus expenses. Compared to $660 for an all day private at
Deer Valley,
$625
/day
at Vail Beaver Creek, $575 / day at Steamboat or $560 / day at
Breckenridge and
Keystone.

When should I start my children? |
|
A. When
THEY want to. If they don’t want to ski why waste the money to make them and
YOU
miserable. If they are under the age of seven start with an
hour lesson and see how they do. You can always add time if they
are having fun. |
|
9)
Can anyone learn how to ski? |
|
A.
Skiing is an athletic endeavor. If you have the desire to learn
and you like athletic
things
then yes, you can learn how to ski. If you don't have the desire
and you don't like to do athletic things then maybe you should
bring a book and sit in the bar and enjoy yourself. Never, never,
never, make a wife, husband,
boy friend or girl friend go skiing. It
has all the making for a divorce or very miserable weekend at
best. Let your significant other do what they want and you have a
much better chance of “
getting lucky”. |
| 10)
What’s the difference between a private and group lesson? OR Is
the private lesson worth the extra cost? |
|
A.
You get what you pay for. Group lessons are less expensive but you
will not get the individual attention that
you get from a private lesson. This is a question that
your own learning style and budget
must make. Husbands and boy friends, pony-up and put her in a
private lesson. Your chance
of "getting lucky” improves exponentially and you’re going to have more fun
too.
|
| 11)
When are you available? |
|
A. I
hang out at Ski Apache every weekend unless I’m off skiing
with clients in Taos
or at other areas. If you are
planning to come up during the week call me and I’ll make arrangements to meet you. You should always call the ski school desk and make reservations
because there are only so many hours in a ski day and I do get
busy.

you are interested in the security of traveling with
your own personal instructor (kind'a like having your own
pilot) contact me through this web site or at

| 12)
Are you married? |
|
A.
No |
| 13)
How old are you? |
|
A. Old enough to know better but
far to young to care. |
| 14)
Do you know any good snow board
instructors? |
|
A. Yes, I can hook you up
with the hottest riders at Ski Apache. |
| In Taos WE JUST
SKI! |
|
|
And last but not least |
| 15)
When do deer turn into elk?
(Yes,
this is
a
real question) |
|
A.
If you ever see a deer turn into an elk, stop smoking what ever
you’re smoking and
seek medical attention
immediately.
