| Today we took our daughter to the Bobo Kids Ski School in Flumserberg (Tannenboden). Quite frankly it was a disaster, and one of the most poorly organized ski schools (for kids) we have been to here in Switzerland.
Whilst the facilities are excellent, the kids just seemed to be grouped together in a totally random manner, meaning that kids who could clearly ski, spent over 30 minutes walking in a circle around some cones, whilst the instructors sorted themselves out 
After one and a half hours our daughter finally got to ski down a very (very) gentle slope, and the instructor commented that she could stop and turn quite nicely and could easily cope in a more advanced group. At this point we finally pulled her out, and the instructor said we would be better coming back during the week when it was less busy.
Our daughter is only a beginner (although has mastered some basic skills) and she really needs to continue with lessons. Flumserberg seems to offer great facilities and is very close to us, but today has put us off a bit.
So can anyone here reassure me that during the week it is slightly better run? Are the kids assessed before being placed in a group normally? If they are initially placed in the most basic group (which does make sense) are they moved when they show themselves to have some skills?
TIA for any insight you can offer.

For somewhere cheap and quiet and good for kids to learn have a look at Brunni/Alpthal near Einsiedeln, closer than Flumserberg
Also at Atzmaenig not far from Rapperswil - (again closer than flumserberg) there's a great button lift for beginners, again if open would likely be cheaper and quieter
