The ski school thing seems to be a mess in lots of places. I went to an expo to buy my pass this season. Got a pass that includes 3 group lessons. There was no line at the booth so I talked with the rep a bit about ski lessons -- some of the things I need to work on, my hope to meet a ski instructor during those lessons who I work with really well so I can continue with private lessons. Turns out, she IS an instructor. She started chatting me up, would love to work with me, etc. I didn't ask about her certification, but asked about her experience -- when she started skiing, teaching, etc. She's in her mid-30s. She gave up skiing for snowboarding 20 years ago. Hasn't skied in 20 years, but would like to be hired for private ski lessons? That's messed up.
Not sure of you've used your lessons yet but if you can ski on Thursdays then you might want to have a chat with Ryder. Pretty good guy and might be someone you would like working with.
