This is probably the No1 reason why people have had bad experiences while learning how to ski or why they struggle to become good skiers. From all of my tips for planning your first ski trip, this might be the most important.
Faced with the expenses of a ski trip, it is indeed tempting to skimp on the lessons, especially since they sound like something meant for children. It is even more tempting to omit them, if your friends insist that they can show you the ropes. Resist these temptations. If you want to learn how to ski (and have fun in the process), get lessons from a professional.
When Is The Right Time To Book Ski Lessons?
Part of planning your first ski trip is booking your first ski lessons. In other words, I would recommend NOT leaving booking lessons (private or group) to when you are at the resort, especially if:
- You are visiting a popular ski resort,
- There are not many ski schools at the resort, or
- Your ski trip takes place during school holidays
As a rule of thumb, take advantage of the momentum built from planning your first ski trip and book lessons right after making the rest of the bookings for the trip. This way, not only will you be certain of availability but you have also made the commitment! Trust me, once you are at the ski resort, there can be plenty of distractions to keep you away from the ski school!
