Alpine ski lessons 6-12 years

In April, ski lessons take place in the ski area of Châtel.

OURSON for 7 to 12 year olds
I recognise my ski equipment.
I can put on and take off my skis alone.
I control my speed and make turns.
I move around on skis in different ways over varied but almost flat terrain.
I can ski in a direct line facing down the slope and finish with a snowplough turn.

FLOCON

I have obtained Ourson level.
I control my speed and traverse across the slope using snowplough turns.
I remain balanced while sliding faster with skis parallel both across and down the slope on both skis or from one ski to the other, over a smooth terrain on a gentle slope.
I can brake, stop and start again myself.

1ST STAR (1ÉRE ÉTOILE)

I have obtained the Flocon medal.
I can link parallel sideslip turns taking into account external factors (terrain profile, other skiers, quality of snow ...).
I am balanced by traversing across on low to medium slopes.
I can parallel turn (maintaining the angle of edges).


2ND STAR (2ÉME ÉTOILE)

I have obtained the 1st Star level.
I can link refined basic parallel turns, I cross the slope in parallel ski and I drive my turns using edges taking into account external factors (terrain profile, other skiers, quality of snow ...).
I can ski across terrains of hollows and bumps, facing or crossing downhill while remaining balanced.


3RD STAR (3ÉME ÉTOILE)

I have obtained the 2nd Star level.
I can string together controlled parallel turns. I cross the slope with my skis parallel and I drive my parallel turns using my edges, taking into account external factors(terrain, profile, other skiers, quality of snow...).
I master my balance in a schuss over varied terrain (hollows and bumps).


BRONZE STAR (ÉTOILE DE BRONZE)

I have obtained the 3rd Star level.
I've refined basic parallel turns by reducing sideslip.
I adapt my Godille (short fast turns) or wide turns taking into account and compensating for external factors (terrain, skiers, type of snow ...).
I master my balance in a schuss when taking off from rounded bumps, on piste or on a ground such as skiercross.
I am used to skiing in all snow conditions.


GOLD STAR (ÉTOILE D'OR)

I have obtained the Bronze Star.
I have discovered alpine skiing in all its forms.
I can ski without stopping on tracks of large gradients, on any type of snow, taking into account external factors and respecting rules of conduct of the skier.
I am confident in challenging terrains or areas: e.g. skiercross, halfpipe.
