Just out of curiosity, is ski week 1:1 instruction?
Group ski week ($300) is usually 5-8 students. You can do private ski week ($1320) if you want 1:1 instruction.

Got ya. Does 2 hr per day feel short with 5-8 students?Group ski week ($300) is usually 5-8 students. You can do private ski week ($1320) if you want 1:1 instruction.
It is usually a generous 2 hours. By which I mean you meet a few minutes early so the usual faffing around while everyone shows up doesn't eat into the ski time. And at the end they don't pull "getting back to base" time out.Got ya. Does 2 hr per day feel short with 5-8 students?
It depends on what level group you are in. I am doing a private ski week with my husband and instead of 6 days of 2 hours, we are doing 5 days of 2.5hrs. We rarely stop on the slope to talk so to us, 2.5hrs is a bit long so we requested to finish early.Got ya. Does 2 hr per day feel short with 5-8 students?

I am doing a ski week this week, but not in Jenny’s group. My instructor is Alain Veth - I had him for Race Week last year, didn’t get enough of him, so I booked him for a week this year! We have already done more than I expected in 2 days and everything we did was in double-time. And we have not even started bumps or carving lessons yet!
I only had one photo op chance in the last 2 days after I needed time to catch my breath after a short walk. Otherwise we were all over and rarely stood around to talk.

Color me jealous. I would have loved to ski with Alain. I had the chance to chat with him for a while a couple times at his shop. I could have talked with him for hours. He's a very thoughtful, insightful, and engaging guy. I'm sure you're having the best week ever with the snow conditions and skiing with Alain.
I do NOT enjoy them and honestly don’t really expect to, even when I know what I’m doing. But I figured I should practice what I learned, while I still remember it. We’ll be in CO in three weeks, so I’ll be able to find some better ones there and see what I retained. So, I’ll keep trying them for the rest of this season, at least.@Jenny, did you enjoy those hard MI bumps? Will you keep skiing them?
