Went on a day that some of my friends described as the worst conditions ever. Very icy, windy, etc. Not a lot they can do to control that. This was my first ski day ever so I took a lesson and that did not go well. There was very little time spent on ensuring that we had the right sized gear or that everything was working properly. I had big problems turning. The instructor decided this was because I had to learn things my own way and left me on the bunny hill all day while he took the others up on a normal lift. I suggested to another instructor that my boots were too big (I couldn't get them tight) and he didn't seem to care. Instead he just kept telling me to lean forward. Eventually he just left me and I went back to the place you get your gear and talked to another instructor about my boots. That person said "yes! There's no way you can do anything in those" so I got a different size (later found out my boots were 2 sizes too big which apparently is a big deal for skis). Why they didn't just have us use the foot sizing devices I found hanging on the wall, I don't know. This change made it much easier to turn except I still had troubles turning left. I think my binding was loose but eventually I just gave up and went inside. Expensive way to determine I don't like skiing very much and would never take a lesson there again.
