Oh it was phenomenal. We had such a great instructor—Sam. I feel like the experience was better because of our instructor. We all learned so fast! Fun and very informative. We all had laughs and drinks at the end! It was wonderful. At first I thought that “half-day” would not be enough but Sam taught us fast that we had two hours skiing all by ourselves. However, there were two girls who came to us and asked Sam to teach them because they did not like their instructor so I guess it depends on who you land with.
PS: I was not able to tip Sam because I had no cash but next time I owe you twice the tip! Thanks for a fun day!
