Ski turn initiation, Sliding or carving

I think this is totally unacceptable. I would've wanted some sort of compensation. ESF?

Betty,
I will write something about this in my report on Courchevel. I don't want to get told off for wibbling off piste and hogging other people's threads my first day back :D

Wibble away Ally :wink:

Ally, you need to post your report on the place, and another thread about the problems you had with lessons.

Innsbrucker ,

I also agree with Trencher & Brimster in that people learn in many different ways and if you're not hurting anyone on the hill, I don't really see the problem. However, if you've never taken a lesson or have never been skiing before, it's not a bad idea to take the plunge, pay the money & schedule one. It's only going to help.

i took lessons and took points from others and that helped me, i think you need lessons but its not enough, you hear tips and you try it all out

Way to welcome a new member Ian.

Can you say why ski school lessons are the only way people can learn to ski, other than you personal opinion ? Have you had any experience in adventure sports instruction that you could use to back your opinion ?
