Hi,
I recently injured my knee (see my post https://www.pugski.com/forums/physical-fitness-rehabilitation-and-infirmary.39/create-thread)
I set myself two goals for next ski season:
1) Come into the season with stronger legs muscles than ever before
2) Get regular professional instruction at least 2-3 times during the season (for example, beginning, middle, end) to improve my skills and reduce my chance of falling.
I live in Switzerland, and it's actually harder than you might think to find good ski teachers. Most of the instructors at the popular resort areas subscribe to the "Follow me and do what I do," school of thought. As a very experienced ski guide I spoke to said, "To give you appropriate feedback, a teacher actually need to watch you."
So I am looking for references for good ski instructors in Europe, people who can watch me, and give me specific feedback on clear, actionable things that I can address.
I have two leads so far, both in Chamonix, France, a place that I have visited many times to climb and ski.

Any other ideas?
I live in Switzerland, and can travel to France, Italy, or Austria to meet a good teacher.
OK, thanks, and all the best,
Bruno
