--remember, you all started somewhere!
thanks, chris
However, this is my first experience as an instructor and I have been very impressed with the level of instructors and how we teach beginners.
For beginners, Liberty offers a package for lift ticket, rentals, and beginner lesson for $69 (don't quote me on this but I believe that is the right price). After taking the beginner lesson, we give a bounce back coupon that will allow you to buy your next lift ticket, rentals, and a 2nd lesson for $39 (however you must purchase that the same day you take your first beginner lesson) and it is not good on Saturday's or Holiday weekends (MLK weekend and President's Day which also includes that Monday). After the 2nd lesson, you get a free Advantage card which gives you 20% off of lift tickets, rentals, and lessons for the rest of the season.
Liberty also has a hotel on site. They do book up frequently during weekends and I am not sure of the rates.
As KevinR mentioned, there are also many options in Hagerstown.
However, I would probably choose Liberty or even Roundtop because they are a bit less crowded.
