Why should I take private ski
lessons?
When
you take private ski lessons the focus is on you. It's all
about what you want to learn, who you want to learn with, what type of
runs or slopes you want to ski on. You can ski and progress at the pace
you desire. You choose the time and duration of your ski lesson. You get
individual instruction and feedback. You can request a specific
instructor which maintains consistency in learning and progress over
multiple days and establishes rapport and friendship. During your lesson
time you'll also get to use the Ski School Express lift lanes.
Also if you have children who want to ski together but would be split up
in children's ski school due to age brackets or different ability levels
you can keep them together with a private instructor.
What about group lessons?
At
Telluride, group ski lessons begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m.
each day. Students assemble early and describe their ability level and
goals to instructors. Students are then grouped according to similar
ability levels. Group size and make up varies from day to day. Each
group is assigned an instructor. The lesson content and breaks will be determined
by consensus of the group. The terrain and pace is determined by the
instructor to accommodate the safety and pace of the weakest skier in
the group. If you are a slower one in your group you may feel
uncomfortable but, for safety's sake, don't take unnecessary risks just
to appease your group.
Your personality will probably
determine how much you enjoy group or private ski lessons.
Relaxed, patient individuals who are willing to go along with whatever
the rest of the group wants usually have a great time in group ski
lessons. If you enjoy skiing in a group and meeting new people every
day then group lessons can be a great way to make new skiing friends.
Individuals who want to ski at a particular pace or location may want
that choice offered through private ski lessons. High intensity,
driven, goal oriented personalities often get impatient with waiting on
slower skiers and sharing the instructor's attention with others unless
the others are close friends. When taking group ski lessons
you may have to sacrifice the level of individual attention,
feedback and faster progress you might achieve in
private ski lessons.
