Monkey braving the slopes with his instructor This weekend, my husband and children and I are spending a few days with friends who live near a ski resort. For the first time ever, Monkey is going to learn how to ski and boy, is it expensive. Since Monkey is not yet six, he has to have a private lesson, which at only $10 more than a group lesson, is going to cost around $100. I'm looking forward to seeing if Monkey enjoys skiing, but part of me is incredulous that I am spending $100 on a 90 minute class for a five year old. Some serious skiers might think the price is reasonable since this is Pennsylvania, not Aspen, but when I look back on my own childhood, I can't recall my parents spending $100 on me in a single day, much less a few hours. I think an entire week of camp (band camp, mind you) was $100, including meals, practices, cabins and night-time sing-a-longs.
