Any instructor recommendations at Mt. Snow?

We're tentatively planning a visit to Mt. Snow in a couple of weeks. Would be sort of interested in taking a lesson if we could hook up with someone really good. Especially someone skilled at teaching bumps. I'm an old guy who started skiing at 49. I've finally gotten to the point I can venture into bumps, have fun, and "sort of ski" them instead of just going into survival mode. But I have a long way to go.

Larry Peckham. AKA "No hat Larry"...I took my only lesson I've had as an adult from him and it was worth every penny. In one hour he took me from barely surviving in the bumps to really enjoying progressing in the bumps! Give him a try! I was about 40 at the time.

I second Larry! He's great and has taught multiple members of my family and friends, and I've bought him many a Budweiser over the years! (You could probably tip him a case a Bud and he'd be just as happy as cash!)

If you're interested in booking Larry, call now! He's very popular and highly requested!

If you wanted to solely work on carving skills, then I'd also highly recommend Sally White. She is an icon of the Mount Snow and Southern VT racing and coaching scene. And even in her 60's out skis almost anyone on the mountain, to the point that when she races weekly in the local Valley League Races at Mount Snow essentially just a couple former male pro racers manage to beat her.

Seems like a quick consensus building. Cash is easier to carry than a case of Bud and it's pretty easy to convert to beer, so I might just go conventional on the tip. Thanks much for the recommendations.
