Only thing I can spot straight away is the Joseray red joining the Face higher up, not sure if that's a change on the ground or a correction to the map!

Just make sure the instructor knows what you want to achieve. There are loads of excercies to build confidence.
Blades were really popular a few years back, then skis got shorter, nimbler, and far easier to use. Now you rarely see blades at all, they are almost obsolete.
Short skis have all the advantages of blades but without any of the disadvantages. Can't see why anyone would want blades these days.
