If visibility is reduced due to weather conditions such as falling snow, all you have to do is follow the guide.
-
If you have a
problem, the guide is as there to help you, including getting assistance if
necessary.
-
You will never get
lost.
-
Having a guide
will not only reduce most, if not all the stress you might experience when
visiting an large ski area with a large number of different places to ski, especially
if you have not skied there previously.
-
You are able to
spend and enjoy far more time skiing slopes that are best suited for your skiing, than could possibly be done without the guide.
-
Although it
will add to the total cost of the trip, it is well worth it, because it will increase the
value and amount of skiing you will be able to enjoy far more than the added cost.
-
Last, but by far not
the least: A local certified ski instructor/guide can take you "off piste"
(off the marked & groomed runs), including untracked powder and/or difficult
runs, because the guide knows the slopes and can match your skiing ability to the
conditions.
