Hi Stuart
Welcome!
As far as camps, I can really recommend Harald Harbs Camps. I have done 3 and am planning on doing my fourth this winter. I got so much out of the one this past winter at Solvista, that I wanted to keep the momentum up. I suggest you follow the links on the REalSkier site under "technique" to his web site. The camps fill up fast and close out in July'Aug. Initially, I did the All- Mountain camps, ( now closer to Super Blue as renamed), but really got much more benefit on focusing on the basics, which could then be applied everywhere on the mountain.

Gary learned much from Harb and also found Clendenons bump lessons really invaluable.  When I grow up, I wanna ski like Gary.
I know Jim R. also did a Harb camp after his son told him he "will never get any better". And he got better.

The camps are technique driven, very personalized, with  video taping of you skiing EVERY DAY. Looking at the videos at lunch, with a more educated eye is just tremendous.

Oh, and they do an incredible job with alignment.
