Snowboard Learning Phases:
We use 5 phases to describe skill level for our snowboard students. We ask that you honestly indicate your student's skill level on the interest form. We cannot guarantee that there will be a class for your student if the information that you provide is incorrect.
Phase | Description |
Brand New | No Snowboard Experience |
Flatland Phase | First few times on board, still getting comfortable performing basic riding skills |
Control Phase | Riding comfortably downhill, can stop/slow and has directional control, can perform heel-toe S-turns inconsistently. |
Turning Phase | Can consistently perform heel-toe S-turns on most intermediate terrain. Working on edge control & fluidity in turns. |
Flow Phase | Confident turning on most expert terrain with full edge control and variation in turn size. |
Skill Level FAQs:
- I know my student's snowboard ability, but my student hasn't snowboarded in a few years. Which phase do I choose?
- Tell us! We read all additional comments that you add to your interest form. The more information that we have on a student, the easier it is for us to put them into classes. We have worked with many students of all ability levels and can almost always find a class that will be a good fit for your student.
