Default 14 Seats Left @ Spring Mountain

I checked Spring Mountain last week and there were over 50 seats remaining through August. This afternoon there are only 3 seats left

Yeah, I was looking at June when I was going to be in Vegas on business but it filled up faster than expected. Since I've been to the COS twice before, I opted for a Level 1 class in August. Even Darci noted the classes are filling faster than normal.

Not really surprising as more cars are getting out there and social media is a big driver as well. People share their experiences now more than ever so more want in. I booked once I had had my VIN from Shane and was fortunate I got in to coincide with a conference in Vegas. Double win and only one trip out West.

I was there in September and asked how many of the new C8 owners come to SM w/n their first year: about 33%.

If you’ve been before…..level 2 is an option. You will pay a little more but I’m sure there are more seats available.

When I did c7 they said 15 percent did it. Wonder if c8 gets more takers due to the new layout.

This is a great point. I booked last week when I realized seats were filling up fast from reading threads here. When I was booking - August 29-30 - I asked if something came up would I be able to reschedule later in the year and was told that could absolutely happen. They just haven't opened up those months yet on their calendar.

Yes folks!
We are filling up pretty fast, every day. Thanks to so many of you for posting about your experiences here, and on other platforms, plus the dealers getting the word out!

I went in December and it exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I did not want it to end!

I go lucky. Took delivery in December and there was almost nothing left through June. Wanted to go over a weekend which none were left. Contacted the school and within a day they opened a new class for the weekend of January 28th snapped it up quickly.

So they do open up classes with relatively short time ahead. May want to contact the school and asked to be notified if anything opens up.

Link to their calendar to check whenever you like. I suggest you check twice daily because when they open up new dates they get filled up in a couple days.

I was a little surprised that my dealer - Rick Hendrick in Duluth, GA - didn't say a word about the school. I already knew about it since I took the C7 course and I got my certificate from Chevrolet with my model the day after I booked my class.
