I'm probably naive, but I was absolutely amazed at what a small percentage Vail ski instructors get paid when they deliver a full day private ( at $775, up to 6 people).
I'm used to the government "staff aug" type contract where the direct salary is roughly 1/2 the billing rate; and the gross margin covers benefits and leave. Ski instruction is clearly a different world.
