If you are around I have a question for you regarding ski school

Registration opened at a local place I believe you brought M and I had a few questions before I book it

Thanks!

We only ever did a drop in day of ski school at a few different places but never signed up for a season at one mountain or anything, happy to answer questions though! Which mountain is it? I learned myself at wachusett 🙂

This is at nashoba
I want to do both big boys but it says parent needed
Wonder if one parent can help 2 kids
I also remember you saying st one place they charged you for a lift ticket even though you weren't skiing only helping
They get 3 hrs either before or after Lesson I wonder if we could help them and not wear skis or get a lift ticket

We did drop in classes at Blue Hills last year.  They didn't require a parent. They charged me a lift ticket even though I was just helping them up and down the bunny hill.  They don't want anyone not on skis on the hills. And if you are in skis, you need a lift ticket. 

I don't think I'll do it again there this year, but will probably do ski through their school.

Yeah that's annoying
I'm cheap and don't want to buy another ticket if I can avoid it
Wonder if nashoba does that too
Guess I need to call

Oops forgot to reply!

I don't know about Nashoba but at Bradford they do make you buy a ticket to be on the mountain with them which is so dumb and annoying! We had a bad experience there last year when my H was just standing helping and would pick them up when they fell over and the ski patrol folks started yelling at us for not buying a ticket .. to just stand there! Basically they only want you to pay for lessons

Any NH or vt mountain we've been to they don't have those rules but I guess the MA mountains don't get the same business so they are trying to make money .. ?

I would consider putting Matilda into a seasonal program at Bradford this year as she's reasonably competent but we will have to look at the prices and days and stuff.

I think one parent could help two kids if they weren't both really young and unable to do anything at all. They can pick it up so fast though so it depends on the kid. William was still two when we put him on skis and after five minute of instruction from my H he was skiing down the bunny hill alone but he still can't get up when he falls over

So my h could easily be on the mountain with Matilda and William now but not two Williams ...
