[Learning to ski - being taught by a friend or by an instructor]

OK I was wondering about this.

 

Instruction doesn't seem to come cheap and we are just interested in having a bit of fun out there, nothing more. I was wondering what people thought about being taught by competent friends vs spending the cash and getting proper lessons?

 

Anyone here self-taught or by friends?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I was wondering about lessons and stuff.

 

Would you say it's best and worth it to take them rather than have a friend teach you. Sounds like a new thread.

Moving to Japan has started me looking into it. Not started yet!

[What to look for in a ski resort for beginners]

Hi

 

Myself and my family of wombles will be making our way skiing for the first time this coming winter.

 

I'd like to ask a really basic question. I'm not looking for specific resort names or towns or anything like that now - just what you think we should be looking for in a ski resort for beginners. What do you think are the important things to look for with my criteria?

 

Any words of advice would be really appreciated.

 

Great to find such a unique site and hope to stick around and still be enjoying it after we try it out!
