My views are based on my own camp attendance which was a few years ago:
Typically, Tux camps have 3 or 4 groups of 6 skiers, each group with their own coach. Midweek coaches switch groups.
Skiers are allocated to specific groups during first morning,after a run or two, when the coaches have observed the skiing. The allocation to groups seems to be based not only on skiing ability, but also on "desired" speed, that is, some people want to move "quicker" in general, skiing a bit faster (but I don't refer to doing downhill racing !), and getting more runs in by being "quick" in general, e.g. doing the exercises "in tempo", getting up the lifts "faster", in general, not wasting time on anything but the instruction...
If you have the opportunity, join a camp, your skiing will take quantum leaps and you'll enjoy the company!
cheers,
Tommy
