Good ski instructor, explains everything well. Says when you do something wrong and then immediately says why, clear but nice. Lets you practice a lot and gives you confidence that you can do it. He shows everything well, even the drag lifts and the chair lifts. I can now go down the mountain more confidently with the learned technique and I know what I should and should not do. Now I have to practice and not think too much about everything. I certainly experienced it as nice lessons! Barney takes you onto the slopes and lets you experience that you can do it yourself, that is very nice!
