Thank you so much for all your advice. Regarding complaining about the lesson I had, it was not in this country, it was my last lesson and we were going home that day. I do have a dry ski slope local to me but any indoor snow slopes are too far away. Would you recommend having some dry slope ski lessons? Thanks again

Hi, we are a family of 4, our children are 10 and 8, we would like to book a ski holiday for next year. We have had 3 x 1 hour lessons at an indoor real snow ski centre. I was very nervous during the lessons and found the instructor was keen to push on to the next thing and I really wanted to spend more time practising what I had learnt in order to gain confidence. As a result of him pushing me (not literally), I ended up careering down the larger slope having not mastered turning at all and the only way I stopped myself from crashing into the wall at the bottom was to sit down, this has now made me dread the thought of going on a skiing holiday. I am really keen to go skiing but I feel I need an instructor who is patient and will work at my level or I may get put off the whole thing. Is it better to go for private lessons as a whole family? We may also be going with another family with children of the same age who are also beginners so they could make our group larger. I welcome any advice and also any recommendations of the best places to go etc. Many Thanks
