点评:Scheduled a x country ski lesson for my last day with my family skiing at BC & Vail. After reading other reviews I was worried about my experience. I was happily surprised. We had 8+ inches of snow the day before. The trails at the top of the strawberry park express were groomed and a private learning area for me with my “group” instructor Sarah. I ended up with a private lesson.
Sarah was pleasantly surprised at the conditions and told me about the challenges of ungroomed trails or snowshoe of snowmobile paths across the ski grooved trails. I totally agree with other reviewers that BC needs to make grooming this area a priority or advertise the lesson as back-country and ungroomed.
I learned about what to look for in equipment, should I upgrade the skis I inherited. We worked on general form, Traversing hills Both up and down and did several loops on a short trail. Sarah paid attention to my ability level and when I was winded we stopped and chatted for a minute or 2 before continuing.
I believe my downhill skills made this first cross country lessen easier than if I was new to skiing altogether. I had the use of the skis after lunch at no additional charge which was an unexpected perk and I went back up to practice what i learned.
It was disappointing to see that the McCoy area is a mixed use area which is intimidating at best and could be dangerous for inexperienced skiers- downhill and xcountry. Perhaps there could be signage and separation? I did NOT go to that area as a first timer for the reasons stated by others.
Finally, I received an email the day of my lesson telling me to arrive at 8:30 to pick up equipment for a group lesson at 9. That apparently is inaccurate as my group lesson began at 10. I thought it was at 10 but when the email arrived I went early and ended up waiting. This was inconvenient and my husband found it to be far more irritating because it changed our meet up plans. This should be an easy fix for BC . There is no way to confirm the time after receiving that early morning email.
For me a great experience!
翻译:我和家人在 BC 和韦尔滑雪的最后一天安排了乡村滑雪课程。阅读其他评论后,我对自己的经历感到担心。我很高兴很惊讶。前一天我们下了超过 8 英寸的雪。草莓公园快线顶部的步道经过精心修整,并为我和我的“团体”教练莎拉提供了一个私人学习区。我最终上了私人课程。
莎拉对这些条件感到惊喜,并向我讲述了在未修饰的小道或雪地摩托小道上穿过滑雪槽小道的挑战。我完全同意其他评论者的观点,即 BC 需要优先考虑对这一区域进行修饰,或者将课程宣传为偏远地区和未经修饰的课程。
我了解了在设备中要寻找什么,我是否应该升级我继承的滑雪板。我们练习了一般形式,上下翻山越岭,并在一条短路上绕了几个圈。莎拉关注我的能力水平,当我气喘吁吁时,我们停下来聊了一两分钟,然后继续。
我相信我的速降技巧让我的第一次越野比我刚接触滑雪时更容易。午餐后我可以免费使用滑雪板,这是一个意想不到的福利,我回去练习我学到的东西。
令人失望的是,麦考伊地区是一个混合用途地区,充其量是令人生畏的,并且对于缺乏经验的滑雪者来说可能很危险 - 下坡和越野滑雪。也许会有标牌和分隔?由于其他人所说的原因,我第一次没有去那个地区。
最后,我在上课当天收到一封电子邮件,告诉我要在 8:30 到达,领取 9 点小组课程的设备。这显然是不准确的,因为我的小组课程是 10 点开始的。我以为是 10 点,但是当电子邮件到达了,我去得很早,最后还是等了。这很不方便,我丈夫发现这更令人恼火,因为它改变了我们的见面计划。对于 BC 来说这应该是一个简单的修复。收到凌晨的电子邮件后无法确认时间。
对我来说是一次很棒的经历!
