Frequently Asked Questions
How much do ski lessons cost?
Group ski lessons typically cost $100-200 for a half-day session. Private lessons range from $150-500+ depending on duration and instructor level. Multi-day packages offer significant savings.
What's included in ski school packages?
Most packages include instruction only. Lift tickets, equipment rental, and lunch are usually separate. Some beginner packages bundle everything together for first-timers.
Should I take private or group lessons?
Private lessons offer personalized instruction and faster progression. Group lessons are more affordable and provide a social experience. Beginners often do well in either format.
Do I need my own equipment?
No, most ski schools offer rental equipment. Beginners especially benefit from using rental gear until they decide to invest in their own equipment.
Can ski resorts customize this calculator?
Yes! Ski resorts and ski schools can customize lesson types, pricing, packages, and add-ons to match their programs and embed it on their website.
