1.Never put on a pair of skis or only a taster lesson.

2.Confident to ski nursery slopes, using snowplough. Very limited experience.

3.Confident to ski easy blue runs with a mixture of ploughing and parallels but anxious on steep or icy sections.

4.Confident to ski parallel on all blues at a reasonable speed and happy to ski reds, but anxious and has to pick route carefully when slope becomes steep or icy. Stuck on ‘intermediate’ plateau.

5.Confident to ski parallel at a steady pace on all reds and easy blacks, but anxious on bumps or off piste. Would now like to tackle more demanding slopes.

6.Confident to ski parallel at high speeds on reds and confidently tackle bumps on and off piste.
