This was my first time at an outdoor ski resort, and it was quite beginner-friendly. There were many slopes, and if you go during off-peak hours, it won't be crowded even without using the VIP access. Instructors are relatively expensive. If you need photos or videos taken, be sure to remind the instructor beforehand, otherwise they won't help. We hired a snowboard instructor for 2 hours (1-on-2), and my child learned basic skiing on the intermediate slope, but they didn't take a single photo. Another instructor taught skiing, and they helped take videos after I reminded them to do so. It's best to choose your preferred instructor in advance.
