Alpine skiing
Green
Total beginner, no previous skiing experience.
Blue
I can do “pizza” and control my speed. I can ski down gentle blue-level slopes using snow plough (pizza) turns and stop in a controlled style, and I am able to use a ski lift.
Red
I can parallel ski in a controlled manner, but on steeper slopes I might feel insecure. I would like to have more confidence, balance, and skills for my skiing.
Black
I can ski smoothly on all types of slopes in a controllable style and with good speed. I might want to learn more about carving techniques, or a more dynamic and sporty way of skiing on a wider variety of slopes and snow conditions.
Snowboard
Green
I am trying snowboarding for the first time. I have tried it before, but I have challenges with balance, and I cannot get the board to turn to either edge.
Blue
I can balance on the board. I can get down the hill and turn the board controlled to the other edge. I need help with basic turns and how to get on the lift.
Red
I can make controlled turns to both edges. I can snowboard blue slopes smoothly and I can manage the button and anchor lifts.
Black
I can snowboard down different slopes. I need help with rhythmic snowboarding and would like more help with edge turning. I am also interested in snowboarding in different performance locations, e.g., in a park.
