Thanks for the tips.

So with that, which hill has the best instructors for "real" skiing? I started skiing last year and a bit off and on before that, so I won't be tackling a lot of blue or harder runs myself until I feel more comfortable

I thought the COP lessons were good, initially, but once I started going out to the mountains last year, I found was that pizza wedge turning and stopping and "throw away your ski poles" advice don't really work on anything except bunny hills. Maybe I missed the point? Anyway, I started getting the hang of sort of doing hockey stops on skis, but I am worried about bringing my even less experienced family out on a hill until they've gotten better instruction.

I just want us to all be in control, and we'll be speed demons later.
