Studies consistently show that people who spend time skiing with an instructor on their ski vacation will come to enjoy their holiday more than if they had spent the whole time skiing on their own.

While there are many great programs at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski School, hiring a private instructor is by far the most efficient way to improve your skiing in the shortest amount of time. 

The main difference between a group lesson and a private lesson is simple. When you take a private lesson it's all about you. In a group lesson its about everybody. When you take a private, the instructor can cater to your specific needs which means that you set the pace. 

In a group lesson there is always someone who is either faster or slower than you. That means that you are either being held back or you feel as if you are holding people back.

The other thing to remember is that up to five people can be included in a private lesson.  If you're friends or family are of similar ability and you have similar goals then you can all ski together. This means you can share the experience and the cost!

Of course it depends on your budget as to which type of program you take. Participating in a group program is far better than not taking a lesson at all. The Whistler Blackcomb ski school boasts some of the best instructors in the world and time spent in any improvement program is almost guaranteed to enhance your vacation experience.

However if you are serious about getting to the next level while maximizing your time, and it fits your budget then a private lesson is definitely the way to go.
