Yeah, that's what they did in Avoriaz, I think it works out pretty well,
but I didn't take group lessons there. Anyone disagree and would prefer
the full day?

I don't really know what to recommend, sorry. I'd guess it also depends
on how much sports you do, skiing can be exhausting (though I find it's
less so than (inline) skating), but I don't know how lessons would be.

It actually comes out to about the same price if there are five people,
so that doesn't matter much. Just thought it might be more fun and make
the language thing easier for everyone. I'll ask about being more
flexible with the schedule.

I'll see if I can get them to do mornings only, say 9:30 to 12:00 or so
and then again the next day.
