First time visiting us, or revisiting after a long break from skiing or snowboarding? Take a refresher on skill level designations to learn which map (or lesson) might be best for you.
We’re actively working on creating our skill-based Suggested Route Maps as a new feature for guests—so we hope you enjoy!
What's Your Skill Level?
Beginner Levels 1 - 4
Level 1: This is your first time skiing or snowboarding and you need to learn the ropes.
Level 2: You know a thing or two like how to put equipment on and how to move around the flats. But you’re ready to move on from comfortable gliding, stopping, and making simple direction changes on the easiest learning terrain.
Level 3: You’re comfortable gliding and making turns on beginner terrain and are ready to try easy green runs on the mountain.
Level 4: You ski or ride comfortably and confidently on beginner terrain. You can ride chairlifts and link smooth, gliding turns.
Intermediate Levels 5 - 7
Level 5: You’re comfortable and confident on all greens and some blues. Linking turns of varying sizes and controlling speeds by adjusting your line with little need for braking is not a problem.
Level 6: Blue terrain is no longer challenging. You’re comfortable, confident, and capable of skiing or riding the easiest ungroomed and moguled blues. Linking turns of varying sizes at moderate speeds is not a problem.
Level 7: Blues and easy blacks are comfortable for you. You can confidently ski or ride moderate moguls and ungroomed snow and can modify your technique like linking dynamic carved turns and stay in constant rhythm on groomed blues.
Advanced Levels 8 - 9
Level 8: Competent, confident, and consistent describes your speed and technique. You’re already skiing or riding with flair and offensive tactics on most terrain, carving arc-to-arc turns on easier groomed runs, and handling moderate mogul runs with good speed and rhythm. Ungroomed conditions are not a problem and you can handle all but the most extreme inbounds terrain.
Level 9: You’re one step away from “expert” level with your offensive movements and tactics. You can ski or ride with confidence and flair, almost anywhere, almost any time.
