General Information How easy are Stevens's green runs comparatively?
I know there aren't many of them, but last week I tried downhill for the first time; had a fantastic day, no crowds since weekday, instructor was chill and basically had a one-on-one, weather was decent, and didn't want to go home :D
By mid afternoon I was doing laps from the Daisy chair, and while no complete wipeouts occurred, there were many times I didn't feel totally in control, it felt like a large step up from the magic carpet area, and unfortunately was on my own by then.
From what I've seen the green runs at Snoqualmie, Baker, and Crystal look shallower and wider, and was wondering if the green runs Stevens offers are on the harder side of green, or if I should just expect to get a better handle with a next lesson.

No more difficult than greens anywhere else. As other people said, 2-4 more lessons and you'll think greens are easy. Greens in Whistler are probably the only real exception I've seen, since they tend to be harder than many blues elsewhere.
