Learn at a school.
Rent skis or a board and teach yourself the first wrong turns? At a school you learn how to ride properly within the first 60 minutes, so your progress develops optimally.
Be honest about your level.
After a while you reach the point where you can't improve on your own any more. That's when it's time for a course.
Questions & answers.
A skill is a specific riding situation you practise. A level bundles several skills. A style (Allround, Freestyle, Freeride) is your direction from level 2B onwards.
Your coach rates every skill from 1 to 6 – from “Not tried yet” to “I can do this really well!”. With an average of 4 you move up to the next level.
