That was my thought.Sounds very good, @SallyCat ! Hope it has a lot of success!
One question, though: male or female instructors?
Why no advanced lessons btw?

Makes sense . I'm not familiar with any resorts in the East TBH.I believe that was an issue of instructor allocation and uncertainty about who would participate. We're a small mountain with more intermediate than advanced terrain, and committing instructors for three different levels of groups was a challenge in terms of profit-cost ratio. So for now, in order to keep the price attractive, we just kept the clinics at two levels. I definitely think there's room for growth if there's interest from more advanced skiers, though.
Even for the northeast, Suicide Six is one of the smaller ski areas. It's been around since 1934, starting with a rope tow. A lot of history and innovation to the place, including embracing snowboarding and telemark skiing early on. Not too much of a surprise that they are looking to explore innovative ways to encourage women who would like to improve their skiing/boarding. Really does not take much terrain to work on technique at any level.Makes sense . I'm not familiar with any resorts in the East TBH.

Yes, just 650 feet of vertical drop; it's charming and well-loved and has been undergoing significant upgrades lately (new main chairlift, more powerful snowmaking, etc.). The ski area is actually owned by the Woodstock Inn and Resort and is just outside a beautiful small town (Woodstock, VT). So it really has to capitalize on its unique offerings. I'm very much enjoying being part of the process.
650 whole feet?! Sigh. I wish we had 650' closer to us than a 5.5 hour drive!Yes, just 650 feet of vertical drop; it's charming and well-loved and has been undergoing significant upgrades lately (new main chairlift, more powerful snowmaking, etc.).

Sounds great and having been through a few clinics, I just wanted to add one suggestion. For the apres, have a table or 2 reserved for your group. That way they can sit together. Some may not want to, but it's a great way to end the event.
Or 1300 half feet?650 whole feet?!
