Find your Level
Adult and Teen Levels
Our levels are designed to give us a reasonable idea of your experience and standard so that we can place you as effectively as possible in the correct class.
- Level 1: Beginners Group. This is my first ski holiday and I have never skied before.
- Level 2: I’ve probably skied about a week and can make steady snowplough turns on greens with some parallelish turns and have done some easy blues.
- Level 3: I am pretty comfortable on blue runs making steady parallel turns and can ski reds. If they become tricky (ice, slush, bumps, steep or narrow) then I loose a bit of confidence and control.
- Level 4: I am comfortable on red runs but would like to get better on steeper pitches, bumps and ice.
- Level 5: I can get down most blacks and want to try or to improve my off-piste, bumps and carving.
- Level 6: I can ski all the blacks and I ski off-piste. I am looking for some technical pointers for my general skiing and in challenging conditions.
Confused or not sure? Read on:
If you are not sure about your level, possibly because you are in between two levels, then bear in mind a few factors when you sign up. If you are fairly confident, fit and play sports quite regularly you might be more appropriate in a higher group. If you ski quite slowly, although with quite good technique, but lack a bit of confidence then the lower group may be more appropriate. Why don't you call us on 0208 123 3001 to discuss it.
Kids' Levels (5-12 Year Olds)
- Marmottes
“This is my first time skiing. I’m a bit nervous but I’m looking forward to it.” - Chamois
“I’ve skied before. The last time I skied we went down green runs. That was OK and we did some blues as well which was fun but not always easy.” - Yeti
“Blues are easy and I like the challenge of red runs and trying some jumps here and there.” - Mountain Goats
“Yeah skiing is easy. I can go just about anywhere. I like reds and some blacks. I can do some jumps and some bumps.” - Snowy Leopards "I like going fast and can ski all the blacks comfortably in all conditions. I can ski bumps and some off-piste and I like to do jumps."
We do ask that all children under 16 wear helmets. We do not wear bibs in our group lessons, but brightly-coloured helmet covers instead. We strongly recommend this form of protective equipment be worn as standard. Junior helmets can normally be rented in the resort.
