The one camp I went to was, indeed, six per group (i.e. six per instructor).? Mine was a blue/dark blue camp in December, and I think they had 6 or so instructors.? One of the first things they do is watch each person ski a bit and then break the groups up into like skiers so that the level of instruction and interaction is consistent in each group, and so that no one skier is way ahead of or way behind everyone else in the group.? Half way through the week, instructor's swap groups so that you get instruction and assessment from a different mouth (and so no one instructor had to put up with MY mouth for the whole week).
Harald floated from group to group because of some people that dropped out after the second day leaving a surplus of instructors, and in person he is completely different than his "web persona".? Easy to talk to, personable, knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge (but doesn't like to be disagreed with).
An alignment assessment is included in the price.? I think they charge for making footbeds, but Maria went out of her way to "make my footbeds work".? She spent more time glueing and grinding material under the ball of the foot than it would have taken to create a new footbed.? Based on a couple of people I saw, they also went out of their way to make existing boots work (even in cases where it was obvious to me that new boots were needed).? Not a 'hard sell" for skis or boots at all.
Selected skis were available for demo (that's how Lynn was able to test the Every Thangs), but they recommend letting them know ahead of time if you are looking for skis, and it was clear that the focus was in helping the student to get the most out of the class and not really about selling skis.
