After saving all year for your ski week at Kaprun/Zell am See/Saalbach Hintergemm, you've decided to bite the bullet and hire a private lesson ski instructor - your skiing requires it -. But, how do you determine what to look for in a professional ski instructor? How do you know when you're getting your money's worth and when you're not? Here are a few tips from a working professional ski instructor that will make it easier for you to determine if you've hired the "real deal."

Things You’ll Need:

1. Skis, boots and poles
2. Lift ticket
3. Personal ski instuctor

Step 1: Before plunking down your hard-earned cash for a private lesson ski instructor, ask yourself what you're looking for. Do you want someone who will teach you conservatively or are you looking for an instructor who will work you? Be honest.

Step 2: Accurately self-assess your own skiing ability. Be able to accurately describe your skiing ability to the person at the reservations desk. Be sure to let them know if you have special needs. Please mail or call me before you place your bet.

Step 3: Decide if you want a male or female instructor or if it doesn't matter. You're not being sexist--some clients just get along better with an instructor of their own sex. Some clients purposely look for an instructor of the opposite sex. As you can see I am a male instructor.

Step 4: Ask the reservationist about the qualifications of the instructor they've chosen for you. Are they a member of the Professional Ski Instructor Organisation? Are they fully certified? Are they qualified to teach special skills like stunts in the terrain park or working with kids? I'm a member of the Wiener Ski- und Snowboardlehrer Verband

Step 5: Ask if you can contact the instructor ahead of time. Most professional ski instructors will be happy to chat with you before your arrival to make sure they are anticipating all of your needs. Please mail or call me before you place your bet.

Enjoy your holidays!!! Regards, Raymond
