Thanks for the tips. Any tip on how to save on those expensive kids ski lessons?
I have a tip. Just not a very good one.
Lessons at the PC resorts are expensive, and I don't know of any way around that.
I've found the cheapest lessons in the area to be at Brighton. Unfortunately, that means an hour drive for you, as well as a rental car. But it's a great mountain with great snow and lower ticket prices. If you're intent on saving on lessons you could plan for a day there, especially if you think your kids might only need another day's lesson before they can solo.
Stop at the Lift House on the way for discount tickets. It's at the bottom of the roads to both Cottonwood Canyons.
There's a good chance in the near future The Canyons will run a gondola to Solitude, which will change the picture of PC skiing drastically, but until then it's a long haul.
