In addition to perks like free demo skis, there are a few other differences for Ladies Ski Week. For a regular Ski Week, there is a "ski off" first thing on Sunday morning. For new participants, can do it on Monday morning. For the Ladies Ski Week, the groups were formed by self-selection for those who were doing it for the first time. .
No ski off is the reason I decided to do the regular ski week. I am neither good at self assessment nor self selection. I prefer to do a ski off, have someone else assess me, then assign me to a proper level.
One reason I like the Taos ski week is, students take turns to follow instructors on a run. They signal you by tapping on your pole and say "you follow me". From following an instructor, I realized it was not an easy task to follow someone turn by turn, I always ended up out of sync and then "bumped" into my instructor.
