Padilla · Answer 1

Monster Ski, because Super Ski has lessons for THREE days, instead of the 2. That costs over $380 for the lessons and drive. Monster Ski has lessons for 75 an hour, and that is $300 for 2 hours. A little over 305 with the drive.

Monster ski is the better deal because it will only cost $156
