Where do you start?

🟡 LEVEL 0 FIRST TIMER

Where you are: Complete Beginner Choose this level if you have never skied before and are completely new to being on snow.

The aim: You’ll get comfortable with your equipment, learn how to move around on skis and develop your balance and coordination. From there, we’ll introduce stopping and turning, with the goal of confidently skiing your first green run.

01

🟡 LEVEL 1 BEGINNER

Where you are: Snowplough Turns Choose this level if you have skied before and can make snowplough turns, but are still building confidence and may find turning easier in one direction than the other.

The aim: You’ll develop better speed control and more confident, balanced turns on green runs, before starting to progress towards easier blue runs.

02

🟡 LEVEL 2 IMPROVER

Where you are: Developing Parallel Turns Choose this level if you are comfortable on green and blue runs and are beginning to move from snowplough turns towards parallel skiing. Your skis may already become parallel towards the end of some turns.

The aim: We’ll help you understand how to create consistent parallel turns, developing better control, balance and technique across green and blue terrain.

03

🟡 LEVEL 3 INTERMEDIATE

Where you are: Confident Parallel Skier Choose this level if you can ski parallel confidently on green and blue runs and are ready to progress onto red runs. You may have already tried reds but find controlling your speed more difficult on steeper terrain.

The aim: You’ll develop stronger parallel turns, improved speed control and new techniques to help you ski red runs with greater confidence and control.

04

🟡 LEVEL 4 ADVANCED

Where you are: All-Mountain Skier Choose this level if you can confidently ski all marked pistes, including black runs, and are looking for new challenges beyond everyday piste skiing.

The aim: We’ll explore more advanced skiing, including bumps, steeps, suitable off-piste terrain and high-speed carving, helping you develop both the technical skills and confidence to tackle the mountain in different conditions.

05

🟡 LEVEL 5 EXPERT
