Whitetail has a 3-lesson package deal for never-ever or true beginners that includes a pair of Elan skis after the lessons are over. Cataloochee has done something similar but required 5 lessons.
There is a day bus from DC to Whitetail on Saturdays in Jan-Feb, and a few Sundays. I did the day bus to Wintergreen a few times from the NC Triangle area. Not a bad way to go if you don't have anyone to drive with.
