2 BOOKING LESSONS Guide to booking ski / board lessons With a wide variety of lessons and adventures to suit different levels of skier or boarder we ve put together this little guide to help you pick the best fit for a perfect holiday. Step 1: Find Your Level All levels are catered for - from beginner to off piste adventurer! Step 2: Choose the lesson type that is right for you. Beginner or lower intermediate skiers/boarders Do you want to join a small group with people of the same level? Are you looking for a week of lessons? Are you a very nervous skier or boarder? Are you recovering from an injury? Would you prefer one-to-one instruction? Or to have your own instructor split between friends/family of a similar level? Intermediate or advanced skiers/boarders Are you looking for a week of lessons in a small group with people of the same level? Would you prefer two or three small group coaching sessions building all-round technique with a day off in between to practise your skills? Would you like to try something new? Maybe cross-country, freestyle, or off piste for starters? Would you like to join one single, focused session? Would you like to learn on the move? Do you want to find the best pistes or off piste terrain, without having to use a piste map? Are you looking for an off piste adventure? Or would you prefer your own instructor, (either one-to-one or as part of a small group) with the flexibility to do whatever you want?

3 LEVEL GUIDE Level & course guide Les Arcs Use this guide to work out skiing and snowboarding levels. Level videos are available online at to help you pick the right level. Adult Ski Courses & Clinics Level 1: This is my first time. Level 2: I have tried skiing before, on snow or on a dry slope. I have started to snowplough on the nursery slopes. Level 3: I am confident snowploughing on green and blue runs and my skis are sometimes parallel towards the end of the turn. Level 4: I am nearly parallel but often use a small plough to start the turn. Level 5: I am a competent parallel skier and can ski red runs in good conditions but find I struggle when it gets bumpy, steeper, icy or the snow gets deep. Level 6: I am an advanced parallel skier that can ski all reds, and blacks as well, providing they are not excessively steep or bumpy. Level 7: I can ski most places. Black runs are no problem and I enjoy off piste and itinerary runs. Snowboarding Courses & Clinics Level 1: I am a complete beginner or I have done an hour or two on a snowboard. I want to learn how to balance, control my speed and turn. Level 2: I can turn heelside to toeside and toeside to heelside on easy terrain such as a green run, snowdome or dryslope. I want to learn to turn on blue runs and link my turns together. Level 3: I am happy turning on blue runs. On green runs I link my turns and carry my speed from one turn to the next. I want to improve my technique so I can ride on steep slopes and ride fast on easy runs. Level 4: I am happy riding on red runs. I can ride fast on easy slopes. I can make basic switch turns on easy slopes. I want to perfect my technique so I can ride all slopes and learn some basic freestyle and off piste if conditions are suitable. Level 5: I can ride on all marked runs. On easy slopes I can grip and carve a narrow track in the snow. I have done a bit of off piste and freestyle before but want to learn more.
