Ski Lessons - Les Gets

Hi All,

We're off to Les Gets on the 15th March. One of our group is looking for beginner lessons for half the week - they're only with us for a few days.

They have tried all of the ski schools and nobody has a group lesson for 16/17/18th March - I suspect that this may be because most are 6 day courses.

So:
1. Any suggestions at all (i.e. any message boards we could try to find buddies for private lessons to share)
2. The cost of a full week isn't prohibitive compared to a private lesson so should she just go to three lessons and bin the rest. My worry is that she may not progress much if only completing half the lessons?

She's hesitant to book privately due to the cost. The rest of the group are strong intermediates minimum.

Thanks
Nige

Can't comment on Les Gets but I do know a thing or two about getting lessons. I've had group lessons and private lessons and I made much more progress with private lessons. Having an instructor all to yourself means the lessons are tailored to your speed and style of learning. You also spend less time hanging around waiting for your turn in a group. As your friend is only going to be there for a few days, I'd recommend private lessons as she'll make more progress in a shorter time.
