Honestly, this reminds me of a conversation with an instructor in France back in 2018. We spent three days together with him mostly guiding me around Les Grands Montets and doing some teaching here and there. Anyway, on our first day, we went off piste to a back bowl and as he watched me ski, he said, you need to get off of those skis. The next morning before we took the first lift up, he took me to our ski shop, got me off of what they had given me and onto Black Crows Orbs (which I later purchased on my own and ski today - you can see them in my video above).
What does this mean?
Go with the half-day or full-day lesson I recommended and as you work with the instructor during the day and they see you ski and your goals, then ask what type of gear you should be using. Like @PRONG HORN after a run or two of "adjustment" my skiing completely evolved and we were skiing up on the glacier the next day. Gave me a lot of confidence and was the starting point of me becoming more aggressive as a skier even in my decrepit age.
