What level am I?

There’s more to skiing than just beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Learning to ski is a journey and knowing where you are on that path helps us give you the best possible experience.

Whether you’re joining a group or booking a private lesson, understanding your ski level means:

  • You’ll be in the right group with others at a similar stage
  • Your instructor can tailor the session to match your needs
  • You’ll progress faster and feel more confident on the mountain

Take a look at our five adult ski levels below. Each one reflects your experience, the terrain you’re comfortable on, and what you’re working towards.

If you’re not quite sure where you fit, then get in touch and we are happy to talk through it with you.
