People progress at different rates, so no set time-frame is assigned to getting you to "first mountain solo" flights. Ballpark average is anywhere from 6 - 12 days. Your total cost of instruction will depend on how quickly you learn the skills, and how frequently you get out to fly.
Gliders range in price from around $1800 to $3500, depending on the sophistication of the design, and whether they are new or previously owned. Fly High always has a large inventory on in stock gliders and equipment, or can order you a custom glider if you choose.
Fly High maintains a storage facility near the training hill and mountain, to store gliders, if you choose to buy your own equipment, (and can't store it at your home.)
