  • Instructors of Level II (Advanced Beginner) classes will help students concentrate on developing wedge turns and controlled stops on beginner slopes.
  • Level III (Intermediate & Advanced) classes will cover various topics depending on ability level. Topics may include Terrain Park Sessions, Advanced Carving, Breakthrough to Parallel, and Introduction to Racing.
