I'm not 100% sure, but I think most instructors have deals with their home mountain that doesn't allow them to take private clients there. But they are sometimes willing to get around that by skiing at a different mountain. So if you have an instructor you already like, you could ask them to do that.

Finding more advanced instructors is harder, for sure. A couple of my friends have had some luck with an advanced backcountry ski course. Not exactly what you're looking for but might be worth checking out? Sorry I can't give a more specific recommendation.

This is helpful, thanks. It's kind of what I figured - I'd have to bring an instructor elsewhere with me.

And I think maybe that second part is key too - there just might not be much instruction can do at this point. I think it's mostly tailored towards less advanced skiers.

Ski instruction can definitely feel like "and then you draw the rest of the owl" once you get to a certain level. There's always more to learn! Seems like an unmet need in the marketplace.
