Ski And Snowboard level guide
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 contact us if you’d like some advice on selecting the best level for you.
