Independent Instructors

Advantages
When hiring an independent instructor, you lower the overhead costs and you can save money while getting personalized instruction. You have maximum control about where we meet, what time, how long we go for, and who we ski with. Contrary to resort-instructors, you can develop a personal relationship and book them again if you enjoyed their method and personality. With resorts you usually get whoever is available on that day. The final advantage that I can think of is that since I ski in plain ski clothes, if you want to be discreet because you are a recognizable public figure, no one will know you are on the mountain except me. Unless you're someone who played in Harry Potter. Then I'll tell my son.


Disadvantages
There is no management to complain to. Although this hasn't happened to me, any significant problems that may arise will need to be worked out with the instructor herself. Speak up for the smallest reasons and we will have a good time! Another disadvantage is that we also cannot cut lines like the ski school can. For beginning skiers in Breckenridge, this can be a noticeable pain during peak season. Advanced slopes get less traffic, so it is less of an issue there. Just know that during peak season, even the ski schools need to wait as they alternate groups from ski school and everyone else. The biggest disadvantage of hiring independent instructors, at least in the town of Breckenridge, is that it's not allowed! Therefore, this whole website is pointless, really. I'm just creating a portfolio website, and these are the details therein.
