- I can stand in my boots and carry my skis. (Beginner/First Time on Skis)
-
I can make turns in the learning/magic carpet area and manage my speed.
-
I can link turns and manage my speed when I am focused; on Green Terrain. I can load and unload a chair lift with confidence without falling.
-
I can link turns at will, control my speed and stop on demand; on Green Terrain.

I can link turns at will, control my speed and stop on demand; on Blue Terrain.
-
I can ski parallel most of the turn on Blue Terrain, but I lack consistency managing my turn shape and/or speed. I use a pole plant some of the time.
-
I can keep my skis parallel through the entire turn in long and medium turn shapes with a pole plant while managing my speed; on Blue Terrain. (CSIA Level 1)
-
I can make rhythmical, parallel turns with a pole plant in shorter and longer radius turn shapes on Blue and some Black Terrain. I demonstrate natural alignment and lead my turn with my lower body most of the time. I am able to keep the skis on edge but lack consistency as conditions become more challenging. (CSIA Level 2)

I can make rhythmical, parallel turns with a pole plant in shorter and longer radius turn shapes on Black Terrain. I demonstrate natural alignment and lead my turn with my lower body most of the time. I can link carved turns on Green Terrain. I can adapt my skills to manage changes in speed, terrain and conditions. I still lack consistency when trying to manage bumpy terrain.
-
I can link carved turns on Blue Terrain and carry some energy from one turn to the next. I can balance on my edges above the fall line on Blue Terrain in all turn shapes and speeds. I lead turns with my lower body and balance well on my outside ski. I can regain balance, manage speed and line choice in bumpy terrain. (CSIA Level 3)
-
I can make dynamic parallel turns, with rhythm, speed & control on advanced & expert varied terrain. I am working towards the CSIA Level 4 certification standards.
