How do I find a good instructor?

Neiltoo, the only reason I do it is so I can tell folks about it...

Did you know I was a ski instructor?

690, she would have been disappointed if it was only the tip... (s)

Hi I agree with neiltoo.
My Husband has had a total of 4 private lessons and the best one was his first and was taught by a french ski instructor, much to his supprise! The subsquent lessons have all fallen short, with one English instructor telling him his legs were in so much pain because he was unfit! This did not quite add up as he has much stronger legs than me and my legs were not in any pain!
We will not book another lesson again unless we have had personal recomendation, because we have waisted hundreds of pounds!

rustylou, he might still have been correct though? Your legs not being as strong as his isn't exactly a measure of tiredness in comparison to skiing ability.

quite, ski strength isn't the same as the strength you'd need for cycling or running so it doesn't mean too much to say you've got strong legs. I reckon my legs are pretty strong but I'd not want to run a marathon for example.

Agreed, I would say my legs are stronger than my older brothers and he is a 6'4'' professional ironman

I think you may be missing the point,

When I was teaching, I taught a number of disabled skiers, should I have told one of them that the reason he couldn't snowplough was that he only had one leg?

There is no point-it is the art of making something out of nothing.. but I was right in my creation of the fact

You wouldn't have been wrong? It would be very difficult to wedge with one ski. Some of those dudes are unreal though-not to take anything away from them.
