Skiing is a fantastic winter activity, and it's great that you're considering introducing your family to it! Here's a breakdown to help you decide on the number of days:

1. Initial Lessons:

First Day: The first day is usually about getting accustomed to the equipment, learning basic techniques like "pizza" and "french fries" for stopping and going, and getting comfortable on flat terrain. This might involve practicing on a beginner's slope or "magic carpet" area.
Second Day: By the second day, you might progress to simple green runs. You'll be refining the basics and gaining confidence.
Third Day: This day often solidifies green run skills and ensures that all family members feel secure in their foundational abilities. Some may even start on easier blue runs by the end of the day if they're feeling confident.
2. Progressing Beyond:

Days 4 & Beyond: By the fourth day and onward, you might be focusing on refining skills, building confidence, and tackling more challenging terrain like steeper green runs or more complex blue runs. Remember, everyone learns at a different pace. Some might be ready for blues sooner, while others might want more time on greens.
Recommendations:

For Basics: For a solid introduction and to get comfortable on greens, I'd recommend at least 3 days of skiing with lessons.
For Progression: If you aim to comfortably ski blue runs, consider 5-7 days. This gives ample time for lessons, practice, and progression at a pace that isn't rushed.
Additional Tips:

Group vs. Private Lessons: While group lessons are more affordable, private lessons can offer more personalized instruction, which might accelerate learning, especially if there's a significant difference in learning pace within the family.
Rest Days: Skiing is physically demanding, especially when you're learning. Consider planning a rest or lighter activity day if you're skiing for more than 3 consecutive days.
Equipment: Ensure all family members have well-fitted equipment. Properly fitted boots can make a significant difference in the learning experience.
Safety: Helmets are crucial, especially for beginners.
Multi-Day Epic Pass: If you're getting the multi-day Epic Pass, remember that it doesn't have to be used on consecutive days (depending on the type of pass). This allows for some flexibility in planning your ski days.[/quote]
