Just wanted to post a follow up for this thread. I was contacted by GeorgeP, who is a member here and a part-time instructor at Deer Valley. He was able to give us a 1-day private lesson, and was extremely good. My wife's thinking and his teaching style meshed really well. By the end of the lesson, my wife was skiing blues and finally enjoying skiing. In all honesty, I did not think that she would get past the Success run (harder green), and this could have been the last ski trip for her. By the end of the trip, we had skied all of the greens and about half of the blues at Deer Valley, which is a huge accomplishment for someone who rarely did anything more that the easiest green runs. So, if your looking for a very good instructor in Deer Valley, don't hesitate to contact GeorgeP.
