Well I'm not interested in a season long program. Just want to give the kids lessons a few weekends out of the winter.

Sugarloaf and SR are both lift ticket and lunch included. Rentals add $10. (and I dont need rentals... plenty of hand me downs) SR website says 6:1.

To me an extra couple of kids in the class is not a big deal... just more friends to hang out with while they ski and they learn as much or more from following the line down the mountain as they do from the instructor IMO.

To me the extra kids are a big deal. I live here and when my kids go and they were the only ones
in the lesson it was great one on one . I felt like she learned so much in that one day . other times
when 8-1o kids I thought it was a waste of my money .This is how I feel and that is with 3 of my own
kids .Two are in kms/ksc freestyle 8yrs old and 10 yrs old. The other is 4 and yes last year two days
with ministars at 130 a shot but it was worth it . This year two more days for her in ministars and tons
with me.

I probably know you. I have one boy (age 11) on the freestyle B team (he's in my avatar from a couple of seasons ago on a pow day at Pico)

That being said, he started out in friendly penguin, then ministars - all on the season pass for those programs. I was lucky that we were able to do that (and my 7 y/o daughter). Now I definitely wouldn't be able to afford that, and would prolly have to move to another mountain if they were that young.

AFA number in the class - once you got to the upper levels of ministars (blue and especially purple) it was pretty much always a low head count in the class anyway. Don and Jamie (and Dan) really prepared them well for KSC, I have absolutely no complaints.
