Ability Level

The more we know about your ability level, the more we know about you & the better fit your instructor can be. If you’re a level 5 but nervous or perhaps a level 2 and a dare devil, let us know. If you’re joining a group lesson, levels are important. We want to be sure you won’t be pushed beyond your comfort zone, nor waiting to be challenged. Please feel free to give us a call if you’d like some advice on selecting the best level for you.

LEVEL 1 (COMPLETE BEGINNERS)

No skiing or snowboarding experience is required. Don’t worry, everyone has to start at the beginning.
