Children's Ski Levels
We use the Snowlife Award System for our children’s groups. All lessons are taught in English, in small groups, with helpers for the younger ones where possible.
Where do you start?
🟡 LEVEL 0 Rookies
Where you are: First Time/Complete Beginner. Choose this level if your child has never skied before, has only skied once or twice, or is not yet able to make controlled snowplough turns independently.
The aim: They’ll learn the foundations of skiing, including stopping, turning, speed control and using beginner lifts.
🟡 LEVEL 1 Explorers
Where you are: Beginner. Choose this level if your child can snowplough turn confidently and control their speed independently on nursery slopes and easy green runs. Their skis may start to become parallel towards the end of the turn.
The aim: They’ll develop stronger turns and begin progressing towards parallel skiing.
🟡 LEVEL 2 Chargers
Where you are: Developing Parallel Skier. Choose this level if your child can ski parallel confidently on easier pistes, but may still use a small snowplough or wedge when the terrain becomes steeper or more challenging.
The aim: They’ll work towards consistently parallel turns across different terrain and begin developing pole-planting skills.
🟡 LEVEL 3 Mavericks
Where you are: Confident Parallel Skier. Choose this level if your child can make controlled parallel turns consistently on more challenging pistes and is comfortable skiing at different speeds.
The aim: They’ll develop stronger long and short turns and start exploring steeper pistes, bumps and more varied terrain.
🟡 LEVEL 4 Legends
Where you are: Advanced / All-Mountain Skier. Choose this level if your child is a strong, confident parallel skier who is comfortable on most pistes and ready to tackle more challenging terrain.
The aim: They’ll develop their carving skills and all-mountain skiing across steeps, bumps, jumps, powder and suitable off-piste terrain, learning to adapt their turns, speed and technique to different snow conditions.
