Snow Cubs Level 1 – Suitable for complete beginners. The aim of this course is to get to the standard where a snowplough glide is confidently achieved. Progress to Snow Cubs Level 2 when unaided snowplough glide and brake is accomplished.
Snow Cubs Level 2 – Suitable for participants who have completed Level 1 or have had some experience skiing and can confidently complete a snowplough glide. Level 2 will develop snowplough glide, brake, confident use of the rope tow lift and introduce a basic snowplough turn.
