So if expert skiing doesn't make an instructor great, what does? For those of us who've taken lessons, what are the qualities that set some instructors apart from the rest?
Kiragirl said:Just a quick thought on experts vs. instructors: yes, a lot of instructors may not be experts and vice versa; it takes the right kind of person to be a good instructor (teacher), although they might not be a "perfection" skiier. Most expert skiiers probably would not make good instructors. Not knocking anyone, just sayin'.
Luckily there are a bunch of diva instructors/experts out there!
