Baller Fam-man Posted December 26, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 26, 2018 One of my ski buddies is going to Florida mid February and is looking for ski opportunities. He will be staying at Vacation Village at Parkway Kissimmee and is hoping for something close by. It looks like Matt Rini is close by and might just go that way. Thanks for any help.

Baller dvskier Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 You won't be disappointed if you go to Rinis. He'll get you focused on what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mick04 Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 +1 for Rini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted December 27, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted December 27, 2018 What type of skiing experience is he looking for? If he wants coached sets, Rinis’ is certainly a great choice. I go there myself from time to time and I like skiing with Matt and Whitney. On the other hand, if he wants to ski and not pay for the coaching part of the experience, LaPoint Ski Park might be a better option at $40 per uncoached set. Most ski schools don’t offer this option. We are a ski club, not a ski school, and uncoached sets are the norm. If he’d like a bit of both, he can split between the two sites, or he can ski with us and get coached by Kris or Jennifer LaPoint, or by Wade Cox, all of whom are available by appointment. Bottom line, he won’t go wrong at either spot and both are about the same travel time from Kissimmee. I like to think we have a great vibe at LaPoints’, and maybe why its my home base.

Baller ScottScott Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 He won't be more than 15 minutes from Jodi Fisher also. Can't recommend him enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller theboardingschool Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 Matt's is definitely the closest. But, we are a really easy drive from Kissimmee. We can do just ski rides as well as coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller andjules Posted December 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 28, 2018 +1 for uncoached sets @ Lapoint Ski Park. For me, in the off-season, the coaching will be largely wasted... I'm just looking to maintain some fitness and have some fun. I stopped by last month for the first time… great site, great location (SW Orlando not too far from the airport) and @lpskier was really welcoming and accommodating.

Baller foxriverat Posted December 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 29, 2018 I like the idea of the uncoached sets for the same reason as you @andjules I will be staying at the Sheraton Vistana for spring break March 24th through the 31st with the family and haven`t skied since October. Would like to get out 3 early mornings during the week. Might get coaching depending on how I feel after the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
