Didn't really notice last season, but Massanutten has shifted their lesson offerings. I knew the Silver Clinic for Over 50 was discontinued, but didn't realize the Ladies Clinic is also gone. Understandable because there were very few people who took advantage of those 2-hr clinics. They were a very good deal with very good instructors.
My friend, JF, who started skiing when her kids did five years ago has done quite a few Adv. Beg/Intermediate clinics. Usually at least one per ski long weekend. Her kids usually do a clinic the first ski weekend. I had my daughter do the 90-min clinic when that's what was offered when she was a tween and still an intermediate (advanced at Alta by age 11). The late afternoon clinic is rarely that busy. An intermediate can end up with a solo lesson with one of the more experienced instructors, even my coach Walter does clinics for adult intermediates if he's available.
For 2018-19 here is what Mnut is offering.
Adv. Beginner and Intermediate
2-hr clinics starting at noon and 5pm, $50
Private lessons (single, price per additional student)
1.25 hr: $100 + 60
2.50 hrs: $180 + 110
3.75 hrs: $240 + 150
5 hrs: $280 + 180
I did a semi-private 2.5 hr lesson with a friend last season with Peter Stransky, the resident Examiner. We covered a range of fundamentals starting on green terrain and moving to Showtime, the main blue. It was a great refresher for me and showed my friend where his weaknesses were. I'm solid advanced at this point (8 of 9) and my friend is probably a step down with some clear bad habits on steeper terrain. He learned as an adult. I met him in a Silver Clinic a few years ago. This season he's joining me and a few Divas for a Taos Ski Week.
