Number One Report.

This week I have had a group of “advanced beginners” and a few private lessons. This had me thinking, which is best? Group or private lessons? Being in a group is very good for someone on their own. It is a great way to meet other people of a similar level. However to improve your skiing there is no doubt that a private lesson is best. YOU will have the undivided attention of you instructor, rather than it be shared with a dozen others. The speed will be suitable for YOU, not constantly being adjusted to suit the inevitable difference in abilities of 12 people. There is no pressure to keep up with the others, the only objective would be to improve your own standard of skiing.

There was a lovely lady in my group who skied well but lacked confidence in her own ability. She booked a one hour private lesson with my good friend, the very attractive Corrine. The next morning this lady was skiing as well as anyone in the group and not staying at the back, a long distance behind the others. I am positive that it was that one hour lesson with Corrine that totally transformed the lady’s skiing.

I had a private lesson with a client in his 60’s. He had been skiing for some years and had become used to skiing around the mountain safely and enjoying himself. But is parallel turns were a succession of skids. Before the lesson had finished, he was edging his skis and carving his turns instead of skidding.

The choice is yours. You can enjoy the company and fun of a group lesson or if you want to improve you skiing rapidly, go for private lessons. After all it is YOUR holiday, so enjoy yourself.
