No Experience

BEGINNERS
Our group courses do not yet cater for you at this level, however you can still come on holiday with Snoworks. You can book a Snoworks One To One course or we can help advise on a suitable ski school or instructor in the resort. So it's easy for you to come with friends who may be taking Snoworks courses.

iSKI: Choose One To One or we can recommend a suitable ski school or instructor.

Greens and Blues

Blues and Easy Reds

INTERMEDIATES
Your entry into the Snoworks iSKI courses. You’ve mastered the blues and can ski them at a reasonable speed and easy reds. You daren't ski blacks yet and when those reds get steep, awkward or icy - oops get me out of here!

You would love to be able to ski all reds whatever the conditions and easy blacks with confidence and control.

iSKI: Choose Piste Performance or One To One

Reds and Easy Blacks

ADVENTUROUS INTERMEDIATES
Your entry level into most of the iSKI courses. You can ski reds at a good pace whatever the conditions and easy blacks. Difficult blacks, bumps or going off-piste, hmm, definitely need some work!

You would love to be able to ski all blacks whatever the conditions, tackle bumps and begin venturing off-piste with confidence and control.

ADV: Contact us to discuss suitable skiing Adventures

NOTE: If you are unsure if you are a level 4 and are worried about being at the right level, choose an iSKI week where Piste Performance is running. Then you can move between Piste Performance and other iSKI courses.

The Whole Mountain

ADVANCED
You can ski reds and blacks whatever the conditions and at a good pace. Bumps and off-piste – not bad.

You want to get to that ‘I can ski anything on the mountain’ mode to become a competent ‘All-Mountain Skier’.

NOTE: It's seems a big jump from 4 to 5 so you may fit our 4/5 level. A good level 4 with some off-piste experience but not quite level 5. We have plenty of courses running so we will have a suitable group for your level.

No Limits - Faster, Bumpier, Steeper

EXPERTS
You can ski everywhere on the mountain at high speed and are looking for new experiences to see how far you can really go! Bumps, steeps, off-piste - whatever the terrain, whatever the conditions. You’re looking for challenges - the harder, the better!

NOTE: It's seems a big jump from 5 to 6 so you may fit our 5/6 level. A good level 5 but not quite level 6. We have plenty of courses running so we will have a suitable group for your level.

EXPERTS PLUS
For those that have reached level 6 ski everywhere but also have the fitness and speed to go with their technical ability, we have introduced level 7. What differentiates 6 from 7 is fitness and speed. Both level 6 and level 7 skiers have the ability to ski everywhere competently. Level 7 is for those who have the fitness and desire to ski hard and fast all day, every day, everywhere and have difficulty finding other skiers of this level to ski with.

NOTE: level 7 courses are generally reserved for skiers that have skied with Snoworks before so we are familiar with your level. Level 7 skiers can still come on a level 7 course if you have not skied with Snoworks before but we need to reserve the right to change groups for you if we find that you are not at the required level. We have many suitable courses running so we can slot you into an appropriate level. You can also move groups during the week if you find level 7 is too high.

Speed & Fitness
The levels described above up to level 6 assume good speed and fitness. If you are below or above average fitness or speed it may be best to deduct or add 1/2 to 1 level as necessary.

Unsure of your level
Don't worry if you are unsure of your exact level. We'll make sure you choose the right course when you book and discuss in resort which level group will be best for you after you arrive.

Moving levels
You can always move between groups during the week to go faster or slower or tackle more or less demanding slopes.
