WHAT'S YOUR LEVEL?

When booking lessons it is essential that you specify what your ability at skiing or boarding is. This is especially important for group lessons as we need to ensure that everyone in the group is of a similar standard. We use the following system:

Level 1: complete beginners.

Level 2: advanced beginners able to use the handle tow on the nursery slopes, some control of speed and direction.

Level 3: be able to ride all lifts on the nursery and easy slopes, be able to control speed using turns.

Level 4: confident on blue runs, turning comfortably on both heel and toe side turns.

Level 5: confident on red runs when conditions are good. Feel challenged by ice or deep snow.

Level 6: confident with red runs in all conditions, get down most black runs. Want to improve in freeride, freestyle or carving.

Level 7: confident on blacks and be able to safely get down itinerary routes. Working on improving skills and speed in carving and freeride or be jumping and pulling tricks in the freestyle park. See our Freestyle or Freeride Clinics.

Important: it is vital that you help us get your ability level correct. Being at a level too high for you could be dangerous and prove difficult to handle in a group situation. Being in a class with a standard much lower than yours is also of course not good. If you are at all unsure please seek our advice before you book!
