re: how many per beginner group

Just back from Pamps and there were 18 in our children's beginners ski group - 14 adults and 4 children aged 7 - 9. By the second day this dropped to 12 adults and 4 children, which is how it stayed for the rest of the week.
It worked out ok as the whole group was skiing a red by the last day!! Very Happy Very Happy
