Baller Orlando76 Posted November 4, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2019 They had one didn’t they? I don’t think there’s really a school or club, just residents only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DavidN Posted November 4, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 4, 2019 IDK about the King of Darkness this year. Haven’t heard a thing so far. Drew Ross’ Ski academy is on the adjacent lake. https://www.facebook.com/DrewRossSkiAcademy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Jetsetr Posted November 5, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted November 5, 2019 We are back in WI for a few weeks and then heading back weekend before Thanksgiving. We usually leave the plane and airline home but that’s a busy week for us and bringing the plane home empty... Will have to check out some of the local ski schools. I’m down there a lot during winter and can stay if I want to. I need “ground school” as well as ski time. Understand they need X amount of $$ per set but I would be willing to pay extra for ground school. At my level of suckage I’m not good enough to just jump in, ski and have “fine tuning” by an instructor. Pretty hard to find that actually...

Baller theboardingschool Posted November 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 6, 2019 @Jetsetr I know a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted November 6, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Boarding School would be an excellent choice, especially if you are thinking of hitting the beach when not skiing. You could also consider LaPoint Ski Park; 15 minutes from MCO and convenient to everything Orlando has to offer. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jetsetr Posted November 6, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted November 6, 2019 Will look into those suggestions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted November 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 6, 2019 I wouldn't worry too much about ground time, before hitting the water. There are many top quality coaches in the area, that will give you the best advice and experience. I'm sure any of them would be happy to spend a little time answering some specific questions you may have before jumping in, but often the best way to advise you on how to get from where you are to where you want to be is to see a pass or 2, then work on the issues that stand out the most. Make sure to add Jodi Fisher to the list of schools to check out. He's not far from Isle of Hancock and the Disney area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jetsetr Posted November 6, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted November 6, 2019 @ScottScott understand and you’re correct...gotta see what’s wrong before fixing it... But the way my brain works is it needs a bit of time to absorb/process what was said that needs to be worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
