For years, low instructor pay was attributed to an abundance of people willing to work for the wages being offered. However, in recent years many Colorado Ski Schools have "sold out" numerous days because of a lack of instructors.
One thing many guests won't be booking online this Christmas is a $1,200 private lesson as most days are showing no availability.
Last season, some guests who had booked in advance had the resort cancel on them due to instructor shortages.
If the USFS didn't promote ski school monopolies, don't you think someone would step up and pay 50% of the lesson cost to qualified instructors who would happily teach these students? Instead, Target and Wendy's offer higher starting wages than many PSIA certified instrucors are paid.
What do you see as the ramifications of turning away potential ski school guests?
