What ski level am I?

The platform uses a Bronze–Silver–Gold tier system with 3 stages each. Bronze covers first-timer to beginner, Silver covers intermediate to advanced intermediate, and Gold covers advanced to expert.

Quick answer

Ski levels are grouped into Bronze (first-timer to beginner), Silver (intermediate to advanced intermediate) and Gold (advanced to expert). Each tier has three stages, giving nine levels in total.

What ski level am I?

The platform groups ski levels into three tiers — Bronze, Silver and Gold — with three stages in each, so there are nine levels in total. Visit /levels to see the full framework and pick the one that matches you.

The tiers at a glance

  • Bronze 1–3 — First Timer to Beginner. Bronze 1 is your very first day on snow. By Bronze 3 you can make your own turns on gentle blue runs and stop when you want to.
  • Silver 1–3 — Intermediate to Advanced Intermediate. You're confident linking turns on blue and red runs, skiing parallel, and exploring most of a resort's pisted terrain.
  • Gold 1–3 — Advanced to Expert. You can tackle black runs, moguls, off-piste, and steeper terrain with control.

Why the level matters

Schools use your level to put you in the right group lesson or to match you with an instructor who specialises in that ability. Picking the wrong level can lead to a frustrating lesson — too easy and you'll feel held back, too hard and you won't keep up. If you're honest with yourself, the school will get you on the right slopes faster.

Not sure which to pick?

A few quick tests:

  • Stopping under control on any slope you attempt? That's the Bronze → Silver boundary.
  • Linking parallel turns on red runs without wedging? Silver 2 or above.
  • Confident on black runs in variable conditions? That's Gold territory.

When in doubt, go one level lower than you think. You can always move up mid-week.

Tracking your progress

If you create a free student account, the Skill Level Progress tracker in your dashboard gives you a visual view of your journey through the levels. Your instructor can mark off individual skills and manoeuvres as you nail them, and you'll see celebrations when you complete a stage. See how to track your skill level progress [blocked].
