ok after returning from my first, and must say fantastic skiing trip to borovets, was wondering what the next step is regarding tuition as we are definately going back there next year, do they have intermediate ski schools, i realize you would need a lesson to get back in the groove of things but from there on...................????
Hi stu..
All ski schools grade as to the pupils ability right up to expert level, basically you will be judged and then put in the most appropriate group. Don`t give up while you are back home, find your local dry slope (or snow dome) and concentrate on improving your technique, time spent improving here lessens the time you spend on snow trying to improve, you also don`t have that year lay-off. It means when you return your overall improvement may put you in a higher class than if you had ...

im not giving up, i got the bug, as i wanted to do it for so many years and now i done it im hooked, much better than a sun holiday, where do they grade you though, because we just got put with 11 other people at the gondola station and were together all week which was great but like i said was unsure of how they would do that next time round whilst there, cheers
Normally (may vary from school to school) all absolute beginners will be lumped together in one group or more of average size (around a dozen). If it is noted that an individual improves dramatically they may be moved up a group to a level where they are likely to learn more. When you return you will likely be asked your ability and experience, from this info they will try and place you in a group that should enable you to improve from your existing ability.Many will underestimate their ...

When you return you will likely be asked your ability and experience, from this info they will try and place you in a group that should enable you to improve from your existing ability.Many will underestimate their skill and some reckon they are better than they actually are, either way if the instructor is worth their salt you will be placed ultimately in a group best suited that will allow you to improve. If you want my advice, take the plunge and go for private tuition, fairly good value in BG, the improvement with one to one teaching is dramatic and really worth it...
Hope this helps...

Totally agree with steve, don't bother with ski school opt for a couple of hours private tuition, then practice for a few days and if you feel you need another lesson book one, you will improve so much faster than in a ski school
