ski classes

party of 16 - all first time skiers leaving on 18th Feb.
Age range from 10yrs to mid 40's.
How many do they have in a beginners class?
Do you think we will all be able to stay together or is 16 too big a number for a class?
Any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

re: ski classes

WOW, 16 beginners in 1 class is a little too much I think. (HELL!)
Better to split in 2 classes coz the instructor(s) will have more time then to explain and for you to learn
The last day you can do a competition then between the 2 groups..
How does this sound??? great fun to me

Thanks Tanjette.

Sounds good to me.
My group will definitely lose - I have problems most nights standing up in shoes - I want very short skis, so I can get closer to the bar.

Regards.

2 in a class that makes me laugh.. I've just come back from Borovets & there was 9 in my group. The instructor didnt like beginners & made that very clear.. I managed 2 days & then went off & skied with the rest of my group.. Loved every minute, but wouldnt recommend anything other than small groups of 4 max, so you have the attention you deserve & need.. Good Luck it's great fun.. Alcohol flows well too.. Recommend the Happy Duck... Great Crack!

re: ski classes

4 in a group, you'll be lucky. Just how many instructors do you think there are?

With an average of 4,000 people in the resort you would need 1,000 instructors to cope.

Average groups are around 10 - 12.

Then maybe some of the instructors should loose the attitudes towards people that cant ski.. My instructor was probably the worse man I have ever had the mispleasure in meeting.. & being someone that works with 42 men that says something!!
