Can my family or friends join me? Yes, in fact this is frequently the case. Most other ski areas charge for extra people in private lessons. At Telluride Ski and Snowboard School we do not charge for extra students. However, keep in mind that guests of different ability levels or goals and objectives may not be able to ski on the same runs. It would be inappropriate to mix a first timer with an intermediate level skier. While I can give the intermediate skills to work on while on the beginner run while teaching the beginner, the intermediate really should be applying their skills on more advanced terrain. The key to success with a multiple person lesson is that the guests are content to ski the same runs at similar speeds. I often split the lesson hours among the different levels of guests throughout the day - maybe the beginner in the morning and the expert in the afternoon. I can even teach downhill skiing in the morning and snowboarding in the afternoon if that works for your situation. I ski but my kids snowboard. Can you teach us both? Yes. I am a dual discipline certified ski and snowboard instructor. You may want me to get the kids started on snowboards in the morning while you warm up on skis. Then during lunch I change into ski boots and ski with you after lunch. This way you can book a full day lesson with one instructor instead of two instructors for half days and save a few bucks if this works for your scheduling needs. Though I have worked with skiers and snowboarders simultaneously while I'm on one type of equipment it is difficult to perform effective demonstrations of skill movements. It only takes me about 10 minutes to change gear so splitting the lesson is really best.
