I don't have quite the experience these ladies have, or their impressive knowledge of different skis (it is pretty amazing) but I think that they all have very good points. You are way early in the season and are still working on your basic technique and trying to stay out of bad habits.
I'm not the one trying to go down the hill on those skis. I can't tell you if you are doing something wrong of if the skis are off or just off for you, but I can say that you are able to take this in hand and get it resolved.
I would take the skis to the shop like they suggested and make sure everything is set up right and tuned well. I would also go with a rental ski for at least a little bit to make sure that you have yourself back together and that the boots are not the issue.
Lastly, take lessons. I've been skiing almost a quarter of a century with 10 years as a patroller and even a season of instructing, and you know what, I still take lesions as often as practical. Last night my favorite instructor, who is also a patroller, and has been skiing professionally for over 35 years, was taking a lesson.
We can always learn something more and we can always improve. Work on increasing your skills and at least have yourself back comfortable to where you were last year, then come back and visit these Cheyenne's again. If by the end of the season you don't think they are going to do it for you, then look to find them a new home.
That's my 2 cents (and that may be overcharging. lol)
