Message-ID: <273@aluxz.UUCP> Date: Tue, 27-Aug-85 23:44:22 EDT Article-I.D.: aluxz.273 Posted: Tue Aug 27 23:44:22 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 28-Aug-85 10:48:14 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Allentown, PA Lines: 19 In preparing for this season I have a friend that wants to learn to ski. Since I'm not that great a teacher (or skier) and I want to not be restricted to staying on the novice slopes, I'd like to suggest classes. NOW THE REAL QUESTIONS: What experiences have people had with the various downhill teaching methods? Is one method preferable for quick learning? How do I know the ski school will really use the method advertised and not just give some snazzy initials to each instructor doing their own thing? Are private lessons worthwhile for a beginner? If you don't want to respond to the net, send me mail. Thanks, Bob Evatt [ihnp4,etc.]!aluxz!revatt AT&T--BL, Allentown, PA Hoping the Eastern drought will be ended by big snows...
