And anyway, I disagree with him: -

Lessons may well help.. or not. But the problem does not lie in your ski technique -

How does he know that?

I also disagree with those that say it is a problem that is in the mind, and only you can sought it out.

There is a good chance that lessons ~ group or private, may well contribute to a recovery of confidence. There is a good reason why.

When someone, even some with a few years experience, has a bad hit, when they restart skiing, there often is a change in their technique. They ski defensively, but, they do not recognise so. An instructor can just pick up on this, and suggest a change or two, et voila, you get back to where you were, or, get better than where you were.

My guess is that she would have managed silver.

Smart thinking, especially when your brain is going numb with the cold. Cheap price to pay in the end. Some paper is gonna pay him more than that for a story.

Normally, one week prior to departure. If nearer than that, then ensure a bit treatment with a sanding file.
