Ability Levels.


  • At ALLTRACKS, we want to welcome as many skiers and snowboarders as possible onto our instructor courses. Thankfully our courses have proved popular and this enables us to have a range of ability groups, allowing you to ski or ride with people of a similar standard as yourself. However, you are still skiing or snowboarding in a group and therefore there is always going to be the fastest or slowest, most experienced or least experienced in the group.
  • Therefore, we have drawn up this ability chart highlighting the necessary standard you need to be at in order to come and enjoy the course in full. This shows the MINIMUM abilty needed, and if you are a good rider, you can be confident and there will be others at a similar level ready to lead the charge!
  • The main motivation for a lot of people on the courses is to improve their skiing or snowboarding in deep snow. Indeed, many people arrive on the courses able to ski or ride reasonably well on piste but have very little experience in riding in powder. Our courses all take this into account, and you will be surprised at how quickly you master it and are able to enjoy the awesome Canadian powder. The ALLTRACKS overnight backcountry tour and CAT Skiing trips are a great opportunity to put this into practice.
  • Sadly, we cannot accept complete beginners on any of our courses. It just isn't compatible with the majority of people on the course that can already ski or ride. That said, don't be put off thinking you have to be an advanced skier or rider to benefit from what ALLTRACKS offers.
  • It is also worth mentioning that your motivation to improve is often far more important than past experience and we hope that your skiing or riding will be revolutionised upon completing an ALLTRACKS course.
  • If you are at all unsure about what level of skiing or riding you are at, please email or call one of the ALLTRACKS team to discuss. We look forward to hearing form you and answering any questions.

WHISTLER 2/3 WEEKS EARLY INTERMEDIATE
  • You are able to do linked turns on easy green/ blue slopes.
  • Steep slopes or runs with moguls are currently beyond your reach.
  • Although you will be able to ride accurately in good conditions, some of time you do not feel completely in control, especially on more difficult runs or when conditions deteriorate.
REVELSTOKE & RED Mtn.  5/6 WEEKS

STRONG
INTERMEDIATE
  • You can ski or ride confidently and in control on blue/ red runs.
  • You are able to "get down" most runs in a resort but your technique, speed and confidence may still suffer on steeper slopes, runs with moguls or when visibility or conditions deteriorate.
  • On a run with moguls you may still have to traverse across the slope before having the confidence to turn.
  • You are fit enough to ski/ ride at a reasonable pace throughout the day.

  •  The Ability Level is more important than your experience. Occasionally people pick up sports far quicker than others. In Whistler this year, we had a snowboarder who only had 1 week of experience but was already riding at a fairly high standard. Having the desire and motivation to get out there, have fun and improve is really important too.
