Neilski, I think GrahamN has been in one in the last few years. Might be worth sending him a PM in case he doesn't see this thread.

I went on one a couple of years back. It was good fun, but not especially 'full on' in content any more than my other times with snoworks instructors. The main thing that I did notice in the group I was with was the varying fitness. It did demand that skiers be able to keep going all day which was a problem for some of the less fit members of the group.

I have been on a number of Snoworks trips including St Anton last year and am going with them to St Anton again this Sunday also.
Last year the format was:
day 1 - half day with a guide and half day with an instructor,
days 2 to 5 - alternating whole days with either a guide or instructor,
day 6 - free skiing.
I think there were four groups of eight. They will move people up and down the groups during the week according to ability although there were only a few changes last time.
I have always been lucky with being in compatible groups although I have heard complaints about one or two participants lack of fitness in the less experienced off piste groups.
I assume you are talking about the same course as me i.e. off piste and if you are, like any off piste course a reasonable amount of fitness is essential to get the best out of it.
