I wound up doing both the intermediate and intermediate/advanced classes this weekend. I'd rate the classes at a 5/5 and my own efforts in the class at a 2/5 😂
I definitely learned a lot throughout and Jeff and Max are genuinely good teachers in addition to being very nice people. I would highly recommend the class for anyone.
During the time that we spent up in the progression area, there were a handful of other riders up there not in the class suggesting that "that doesn't look like an intermediate class, I'm way more advanced than that". I get that perspective, but having watched people riding there for years, there are a lot of people riding intermediate to advanced features who still have beginner level fundamentals. Also, they did a really good job, primarily in the more advanced class, of showing how to do things in multiple ways depending on the situation. Great, you can hit a drop at a normal "trail pace" for the feature...what if there's a tight turn right after? What if you need/want to hit it faster than the feature is designed for?
They indicated that they'd be doing another session in the fall. I plan to work on a lot of what was covered in the class and potentially sign up again.
