\"matterhorn-diamondsy\"<\/a> So you\u2019re on holiday and you\u2019ve made to the ski resort, it\u2019s time to relax. Down at the breakfast table, enjoying the view as you look outside at the snow covered trees, and the blue skies above, someone says, \u201cso what\u2019s the plan for today?\u201d Blankly you look around.. \u201csame as yesterday, at least we know where we\u2019re going?.. \u201c; groans emanate from around the table..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Desperate for some inspiration, you grab the piste map. \u201cWe could ski over to the next valley? But then we have to watch the time so we don\u2019t miss the last connection back..\u201d All of a sudden that nice relaxed feeling starts to fade\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-matterhorn-diamonds-7417\" The trouble with booking an instructor for the day is that it feels like an additional superfluous expense on an already luxuriously pricey holiday, and the benefits of an instructor appear, at first glance negligible. If you already know how to ski, what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n

However, with an experienced instructor who knows the area like that back of his or her hand, the upsides are myriad. Firstly it takes all the stress out of planning the day; you no longer need to keep an eye on time, your instructor has that covered, and you don\u2019t need to keep checking the map, unless you want to; your instructor will guide you round the so you can sit back, as it were, and enjoy the surroundings.<\/p>\n

\"2\" You\u2019ve basically got a local for the day, so take advantage! Find out where the best snow to ski in the morning, how to avoid the late slush filled afternoon pistes, and get for some tips on how to ski that slush! Your instructor will also be able to take you to the ideal lunch spot; whether it\u2019s the cafe with the amazing R\u00f6sti or the restaurant with the to-die-\u00adfor view over the valley, and they can book you the table from which you can best enjoy it!<\/p>\n

\"3\" If you have family and children with you; so if you want a longer relaxing lunch, let the instructor take the strain; they can take the kids out for a blast in the afternoon and bring them back home at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Lastly, you have the chance to pick up a few new skills. Better technique will mean less tired legs, especially when it comes to the more challenging aspects of skiing like bumps, off piste or even skiing on ice.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s face it, you\u2019re less likely to have a domestic if there\u2019s a third party there, think of your instructor like the Dalai Lama of chairlifts..! So for peace of mind, new skills, and a relaxing day, getting an instructor can be just the ticket!<\/p>\n
