How To Reserve a Private Ski Lesson with bill jones
by Bill Jones, Ski Instructor
Certified Professional Ski Instructor (Registration #110478), Level III

Let's ski!"...Bill Jones .

To book your private lessons at Keystone (new and existing clients)--and at other Vail Resorts (existing clients only)--learn about lessons below, then scroll to page bottom for booking info.

For background on Bill, go to BILL JONES, Ski Instructor. Also, Read what others have said about ski lessons with Bill. Bill teaches alpine skiing (no terrain park, cross-country, telemark, or snowboard) to adults and children age 8 and up (a parent[s] may be present if you prefer).
Also note that Bill or any instructor cannot be reserved for group lessons.

Read Bill's 2019-2020 annual ski letter. "3 ski styles: Double-edge Death Grip, Lock and Step, Glider", "Ski Boot Prep", "Tip Forward They Say. Why", "It Depends"

Read Bill's 2018-2019 annual ski letter. Another look at “PSIMAN—The Movie”

Read Bill's 2016-2017 annual ski letter:  updates on skiing, equipment tips, and technique brush-ups.

Bill is available for full-day private lessons in alpine skiing at skill levels from 1 through 7 and for ages 8 and up. "Private" lessons may include multiple persons.

Information/pricing for full-day private lessons: Make arrangements at www.keystoneresort.com (Skimybest.com is not a Vail Resorts website.)

If renting equipment (not included with lesson), consider renting it at the resort. That way, if an equipment adjustment is needed it can be done with less interruption to your lesson. Get skis, boots, and poles (some rental agents say poles are not needed for beginner adults--not so.; get them). The company rentskis.com: exits has locations near lift bases at most of the Vail Resorts ski areas and you can reserve your gear online--useful as at busy times equipment may be limited in some sizes or types and wait-times for fitting your gear can be less.

If you will rent equipment at a resort, arrive at the rental shop for fitting at least one hour before your lesson, more on busy days such as holidays, school vacations. Or rent it the afternoon or evening before your lesson--check for shop hours.

For more considerations on private lessons, and for comparing pros and cons of private lessons versus group lessons, go to Why Take a Lesson from a Professional Ski Instructor and scroll down to "Private vs. Group Lesson".
