You can ski with confidence on all green terrain making round wedge turns. Your goal is to progress toward parallel turning by gradually reducing the size of your wedge and to explore more green terrain.
You ski confidently on all green terrain and ski cautiously on blue terrain (more difficult terrain). Your goal is to start turns with a wide parallel stance and ski blue terrain more confidently.
You ski blue terrain with wide-stance parallel turns. Your goal is to begin to develop independent leg action while steering both feet thru the turn.
You ski parallel on smooth (groomed) blue terrain and use a pole plant when turning. Your goal is to ski in a natural parallel stance and meet changes in snow and terrain conditions while developing your ability to carve more and skid less.
