Curious what the typical annual cost is for kid's group lessons? I'm not counting equipment, just a "ski season" program where your kid goes every Saturday or Sunday for like a 2hr or 3hr group session. When I worked at Stowe Ski School in the Jurassic Period, we had those & I know they're popular at Smuggs & other places, etc..
One would think this would be a simple question to Google, but most resorts websites have scrubbed this info now that the season's over, or don't even list it to begin with, and I cant think of a better place to ask this question since so many of the regulars here either have or recently had kids in exactly this scenario. The problem I'm finding is everything posted online seems to be, "I brought my kid on vacation & gave them a 1 day 6 hour lesson for $250". I imagine (am hoping?) there must be a cheaper offering for an all-year and/or locals sort of arrangement?
I took the (net) advice of this board last season & didn't start my kiddo in lessons at age 3 as the majority here, with IMHO sound reason & even multiple PSIA experience, thought 4 was a better starting age, but that is now going to be upon me, so I'm trying to prepare & I'm looking for something once-a-week for the entire season.
