The SB Ski instructor team carefully structure group lessons so skiers are comfortable to ski at the same pace and can develop and progress. There is a space on the Booking Form to provide this very valuable information. So how do you know your SB Ski level? Please watch our videos – and also take a look at the skier progressions given below.
For a child, or children, who have never holidayed with SB Ski before, can parents please use the videos to gauge their level/s. For those who have skied with SB Ski and received a star (*) award, please indicate award/s achieved.
When it comes to learning to ski, everyone is different. The instructors will take time to pass on the key skills to build confidence and technique. Beginners meet their instructors on arrival evening and are given priority morning lesson slots to build confidence and early mountain awareness. Megève has dedicated nursery slopes for beginners with easy lifts.
Intermediate level 3, 4 and 5 skiers can enjoy hundreds of kilometres of terrain – meandering blues and reds, and more daring blacks. Great when the pistes are perfect, but so often for intermediates it is when the weather changes that the challenges start. The intermediate levels are quite wide ranging and again ski school classes will determine ability and confidence levels. Tackling icier conditions, enjoying first tracks through low-lying powder, or venturing off the side of the piste, skiers progressing through these levels will learn how to ski all terrain.
Those skiing at higher levels will be looking for bigger challenges – whether it’s working on refining piste skills (carving and short turns), skiing powder, steeper slopes, bumps, or getting into the snow parks.
