Byron,

It's worth of taking some time to think about what you want ahead of time. If the instructor does not ask that question at the start, run away!

Defiantly, posture and hand position feedback is a very basic fundamental. We are talking about fore aft balance in another thread and hand position is so important. Never keep your hands at your side near the hips. It's so easy to slip back into your old habits.

Tipping has different meanings to different instructors. In the Fore Aft thread there are links to some tipping drills done on dryland. Take a look and practice ahead of time.

Ask for two specific thoughts at the end of the lesson that will help you carry on while skiing on your own. And, if you have a good experience, have some $$$ in a convent pocket to tip her!
