Thanks for the replies! I get a private instructor for the first 2 days of each trip I take. They are all so different but all have something great to offer. I wish I had never learned that whole "pizza" stop! lol

Thanks again!

Do any of you happene to know of a group or forum where solo skiers join to together for ski trips?

How can we find more info on the chalet that Gravite will be operating? My fiance' and I are looking at the same place as the original poster... but we are beginners!
Thanks in advance!
By the way...GREAT forum!

I am a beginner skier with only 5 trips under my belt. My firsst 3 instructors taught the snow plow method, and the last 2 attempted the parallel method. I have no problem balancing on my skis and probably lack the fear I should have as I start flying down the slope. :O

Is there anyway to break the snow plow habit? I always seem to revert back to it when in a bind to shed speed. I find the snow plow really isn't that helpful in slowing down but does help if I start a semi snow plow in an effort to get parallel.

Any information on good DVD's, books, etc or personal tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :D
