Your significant other

Pro: Them teaching you to ski? It’s a movie montage waiting to happen. The romance is palpable, and there’s no better way to make memories than spending your holiday practising your sport with the person you love.
Con: You’ll pick up their bad habits. However experienced they might be, they’ll have developed personal quirks. Plus, the movie montage can quickly turn sour when you’re cold, wet, and frustrated, and they’re keen to move on to more challenging slopes.
Cost: £0

Family

Pros: Spending time with the people you love, and passing on knowledge through generations of experience. It can be one of the best ways to make memories, and truly get the most out of your family holiday.
Cons: Similar to learning with a significant other, being taught to ski by a family member carries a high risk of frustration and unnecessarily high tensions. Consider carefully how well you can work together before you commit to a related teacher.
