I recommend Adam Mather at Lake Louise ski school, he's a British guy, very sweet and has given me a huge amount of confidence (oh and he gets the hot chocolates in when it's minus 50 with wind chill!) - one quote in particular "Alex, show the mountain who's boss" - 10 seconds later I face-planted... uh, the mountain won!  Also the guy with bleach blond hair (from London) can't remember his name (John maybe?) but friends really like him and I skiied with him once - full of encouragement.
A course of 3 morning group lessons (max number 6) was last year 199 CAD plus tax. You can also do a 1.5 hour private early bird for around 100 CAD - this is a great option as you start at 8:30 and the lifts don't open to the public until 9!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'm also going to add Tyson (Canadian guy looks about 15) who is fantastic with nervous learners - and anyone else for that matter (again he's based at Louise) - he's so good that last year he was shipped out to Sunshine to teach the candian pm's kids to ski!

We went with Club Ski last year - M Coins had Ken Tannahill as instructor who he thought was pretty good ( http://kenlinda.com ). Others in his group (level 5) chose to have him for another 3 day lesson later on in the hols - and M Coins has booked to have him again this year. And I've booked to have his wife Linda who I met last year but didn't ski with. It'll be interesting to have a woman ski instructor as I've only ever had men - interested to see what the differences are (if any)

I'd give another vote to Club Ski - I had lessons with Don ONeill last month, and like Cathy, others in my group who were staying longer than I was requested him for another set of lessons. I'm not sure how it compared cost-wise with the other ski schools. The big advantage of Club Ski is that they take you to all three resorts, not just one.
