Instructor Recommendations for Wasatch - Cottonwoods (or Deer Valley)
Wondering if anyone could share some names of good instructors in the Cottonwoods? I'm flexible to any of the four, or Deer Valley.
I started later in life (40s) and have grown to an intermediate skier. I'm looking to continue to improve so I can get comfortable on blacks, and also need ongoing help in the powder (since I'm midwest and we really don't get to ski powder).
I've worked with a couple out of Alta, and both were great, but neither would video me, even though I would ask. And so often in certain situations, I had a tough time comprehending what they were talking about when they critiqued me. I work with a coach here in the midwest and he videos everything and it's amazingly helpful.
So I would love an instructor who is of course good, wants to work with someone trying to grow beyond intermediate, and ideally would be willing to actually video me as well so I can see what they're talking about when I'm not understanding something.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

There is no powder at Alta. I would try park city, maybe Woodward?

It's tough to find instructors in the summer. Most of them are guarding the mogul storage facility for extra cash.

I have no idea why they wouldn't...I made multiple requests and they just wouldn't; basically said it wasn't necessary...I just gave up asking.

Sounds like you’ve had enough instruction. Just get out and ski without overthinking it.

the reason they won't video you is because if you saw what you looked like skiing you'd quit and they'd be out a client.

Rob Sogard at Snowbird. If you can get a private... great. If not, he can hook you up with someone appropriate.
