Guidance on ADULT SKIER levels for New Generation is as follows (see their Web Site for video clips to gauge your level):

Level 1	This is my first time
Level 2	I have tried skiing before, on snow or on a dry slope. I have started to snowplough turn on the nursery slopes
Level 3	I am confident snowploughing on green and blue runs and have started to parallel turn
Level 4	I ski parallel on a blue run, but struggle when it gets steep, narrow or icy
Level 5	I can ski red runs when the conditions are good.  I enjoy going fairly fast, but struggle when it gets bumpy, steeper, icy or the snow gets deep
Level 6	I can ski all reds and get down most blacks as well provided they are not too steep or bumpy
Level 7	I can ski most places.  Blacks are no problem and I enjoy off-piste.

 

Guidance on CHILDREN'S SKIER levels for New Generation is as follows:

Wallabies/Whippersnappers	This is my first time
Arrows	I can ski a green run, controlling my speed, use a drag lift and might have tried a blue run
Bombers	I can 'bomb' down blue runs and sometimes get down a red run as well
Rockets	I can parallel ski "everywhere" - reds and beyond
NG Freeride Team (10-14yrs)	I have been in Rockets (or a similar level). I can parallel ski on blacks and am now looking to develop my all mountain skills

 

Guidance on SNOWBOARDING levels for New Generation is as follows:

Level 1	This is my first time on a snowboard
Level 2	I can stop and turn on both my toe and heel edge
Level 3	I can ride and turn on blue runs
Level 4	I am ready to ride all of the mountain
