Will be travelling to Whistler in January for 5 days and am unsure which type of ski lessons to go for.

By way of background, I've only been skiing once before (3/4 days at Val d'Isere earlier this year). I had 3 lessons there , two group and one private. I picked it up quite quickly and by the end of the trip could comfortably ski all the 'greens' and easy blues at the resort (not sure how they compare to Whistler). Looking at the Whistler ability chart I'd probably say I'm just above a 3 but not a 4.

I'm not sure whether to book my self in the 3 day Esprit group or whether to go for the supergroup (was thinking beginners group (for levels 1-3) for the first day, followed by intermediate (for levels 4-6) next 2 days). I'd book the half days if I opt for the supergoups.

As I'm travelling alone, I like the fact that Esprit is more social but I'm just concerned I won't progress as quickly (as it is a group of up to 8ppl of varying standards). I'm only there for 5 days so I know I'll be disappointed if by the end of day 3 I feel like I haven't advanced as quickly as I would have liked.

Just looking for some advice from people who have either attended any of these courses or from experienced skiers.


Many thanks :)
