Review content:
My 5-year-old is currently in lessons with Fiorini. Although she has taken ski lessons since she was 3 and was turning, stopping and riding lifts with ease, the school placed her in a Beginners group and has refused to move her to a different level. The first class was spent playing duck-duck-goose on the snow and then "progressing" to the green rug, where they shuffled up and skied the 10 feet down to the bottom. Week 2, they "graduated" to the moving carpet. Their excuse is that the upper levels are full anyway, and they don't want to place her with 7-year-olds. Her ski instructor at Fiorini is a 15-year-old 9th grader (needless to say a 1st time teacher) who does not understand how to teach kids. One dad in our group--a former ski instructor himself--is so concerned about kids riding on the lift with this inexperienced teacher that he volunteers to help out with the classes.
After a family trip to Deer Valley Utah, where she was enrolled in an excellent ski school all week, my daughter began keeping skis parallel and starting doing rudimentary hockey stops. We spoke with her teacher and were hoping that Fiorini could at least work with her on improving her new skills, but I just learned that her Fiorini teacher told my daughter to keep doing "pizzas" (wedges) like the rest of the class. Guess it was easier to teach them that way.
We have heard that the school has had difficulty attracting good teachers this year. They are understaffed as well. Parents should not have to volunteer to help the instructor when paying $264 for the 7-week series (on top of lift passes and ski rentals and gas to get there)!
My expectations for this class have gone to nil. Essentially, it is ski babysitting for my daughter. They should be ashamed at calling themselves a ski school when they hire inexperienced child instructors and refuse to listen to parents' concerns about their school.
Unless your child is a true beginner or a very cautious skier, I would be extremely wary of this school.
