Had a private lesson yesterday with Rob from Inside Out Skiing at Hemel Snow Centre. I just wanted to post on here to say how great I thought it was. I'm not that experienced with skiing, and in fact barring a single hour's skiing over Christmas, I hadn't skied for 18 years, and even then I'd only done a few weeks.
When I started the lesson, I was not very controlled and not very confident. By the end, I had not only improved my technique, but my confidence was far, far higher and I also have a lot to take away and practice the next time I go. Added to that, Rob was so generous with his time and experience, that I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Inside Out Skiing to anyone looking for some tuition!
Anyone interested in seeing the end result of the lesson can have a look at http://youtube.com/v/i-OPfmcXwr4?hd=1 but please do be aware that I still have a lot to learn and - given my current shape - resemble somewhat an inelegant Hagrid skiing down the slope

DaKid, thanks for your kind comments I was impressed with your skiing considering the nearly 20 year break and your relatively limited time on snow before that. Hope you have a great trip later this season.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

DaKid, well done indeed (from another Inside Out groupie ).

I had a terrific week with Scott and Rob last January in Solden and really looking forward to a 'Short and Snappy' refresher at Hemel tomorrow.

Another big thumbs up, really enjoyed yesterdays group lesson, more so as the knee felt better as the session went on (It doesn't like me as much this morning though but it was worth it!). Most of the time I felt in control and even when everyone on the slope seemed out to get me it was fun!
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Well done! Certainly doesn't look like you've only skiied for an hour after so long away from the game.
And thanks facebook for suggesting this other Inside Out video http://youtube.com/v/Ngvsst0zd74 (I'm sure we've all been there just not when the camera is running!)
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
