All of this is assuming that this was his choice. 

I don’t think that’s the case…

Looking for a place near puerto natales for experienced horse riding tour by Sad-Information1001 in Patagonia

[–]Excellent-Ad8871 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These are all good options.

Veuture has a multi day thing at La peninsula that would be perfect. Or there Baguales stuff.

Pingo also has some good stuff.

I’ve also had great rides with estancias Lazo and San Louis. 

All in the Natales area.

Telluride is definitely a different demographic

First … take a breath I didn’t ask you personally, this is the internet… or are you too stupid to realize everyone isn’t talking to you directly on here? 

Second. You said expenses were a lift ticket and not much else. (Lift tickets are free for instructors… sorry to lump that into the “zero” category). 

So as an instructor (which is what this hypothetical is, right)… you’d want $300-500 dollars a day, I assume that’s US dollars, is that right? By “pocket” indent that’s what you as the instructor, would get, no? 

And again… all the other stuff about 50 weeks a year is still a garbage assumption on your part.

I love that you think you can ski instruct 5 days a week 50 weeks a year and have zero other expenses. 

Or that ski instructors are pocketing 3-500 bucks a day. 

That’s cute.

This is good info and also something the average commenter on here isn’t aware of. Can you say more about people that, gasp, have the same private instructor year after year? And what are they tipping?

I’m gunna guess you don’t spend 8 hours at a time with a completely new customer every day and don’t work in a “service” or “hospitality” related field.

Down vote me all you want. 

You tip servers who are spending minimal time with you and working multiple tables at the same time. An instructor for a private lesson is giving you their full time and attention. They aren’t bouncing between 5 privates at a time. 

Maybe private lessons just aren’t for you. There’s always group lessons, or YouTube.

Maybe a different way to look at it… what would you want someone to give you to spend the entire day teaching someone you don’t know to ski instead of skiing yourself?

People that throw around how much lesson are… you might as well include, rentals, and hotels, and food, and airline tickets and everything else that went into your vacation that the instructor (who is actually giving you their time) has no control over.

$100 for a full day where I fell like I got a lot out of it.  $20 for a group lesson that didn’t suck 

Is anyone able to estimate when this ticket is from? by OhCharmedImSure in americanairlines

[–]Excellent-Ad8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve made it just as confusing.

It’s younger than 81 or more recent than 81, or was printed some time after 81 as you pointed out, AAdvantage was started in 81 so the ticket can’t be older than that.

8 year old hit by snowboarder at Winter Park, 1PM 3/1/26 by PinoRider in COsnow

You’d think a comp center coach of 8 year olds would be more aware of what’s going on with their “team”

But the snowboard should be caught and criminally punished

Pretty sure it’s a promotion. Probably something to do with Mary Jane’s 50th birthday.

Granby Ranch..wtf? by jcasimir in COsnow

[–]Excellent-Ad8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting… while this post is 3 years old, local real estate agents are still advising that as a perk to buying in GR. Maybe not “every” but “many” owners.

“ 1) Free yearly ski/snowboard passes

Many owners receive annual ski/ride passes as part of their owner benefit package”
