anyone have any recommendations for some of the better Deer Valley instructors? Looking for someone to really focus on technique for an adult skier.

Is that your instructor? and have you tried others?
I had a great lesson with Lance Swedish (L3) two season ago .
Yes, I have taken lessons with others, but he was the best I found. That being said there are 100’s of instructors at DV

If you have the time and $$, I recommend the Mahre Camp. Three day session starts in a couple days, you might be able to sneak in. They are pretty technical.
Registration | Park City | Mahre Training Center
Register for 3 or 5 day ski camps designed for adults of all skiing abilities. Improve your skiing with specialized instruction.
www.mahretrainingcenter.com
Three day sessions:
December 13 - 15, 2019
January 10 - 12, 2020
January 31 - February 2, 2020
February 28 - March 1, 2020

being technical is good?

I tried to sign up for the Mahre camp but they said they sold out in September!!! I booked a trip out there just to go to it, now I’m super bummed. I had no idea it sold out like that. (Couldn’t they sneak another guy in!?!?)
So now I’m weighing the option of either a full day private, or 2 x 1/2day private. It’s about the same price as Mahre would have been.

See if Rusty Carr is still there. He was a long time EpicSki poster, you'd do well with him.
You could try calling/begging again? Try to get on their waitlist. Someone may drop out last minute. Did you try just now or back in September?
The program ties up a lot of the instructors so getting a lesson at all may be hard.
mm,
Not sure if Lance is working yet or if he is if he is scheduled to work the Mahre camp. Same thing with Royce. Just what do you want out of the lesson, more technical or more wah-hoo skiing? I may be able to give you a name.

Yup, I did that. Called, begged, pleaded. Wrote a very nice email. They said they couldn’t move me ahead of anyone else on the waitlist. I am on the waiting list, but I don’t think I’ll make it.

Definitely technical. I want to work on pure carving turns and really focus on technique and drills.
Appreciate any recommendations you may have.
You think a full day private or 2 x 1/2days would be better? Then I could work on things in the afternoon and go back day 2? Or immerse myself in 1 day would be better. (Full day would be a little cheaper)
