Passport
The training programme at Montana Snowcenter is designed to teach children how to ski or snowboard in a fun and safe way. The children's progress is recorded in the passport.
We have a curriculum in which we use 4 levels. The levels are classified according to the corresponding ski or snowboard exercises.
In the passport, the exercises that your child has mastered are ticked. At the end of the course, each child receives a medal with the level obtained. Thus, we can also offer advancement to the next level in a follow-up course.
Age Categories and Levels
There are three age categories for skiing and one category for snowboarding:
- Skiing 4 and 5 years old
- Skiing 6 to 8 years old
- Skiing 9 to 12 years old
- Snowboarding 8 to 12 years old
Each age group has 4 different levels. Each level has a different entry level. Watch the videos below to find out at what level you can book the course for your child.
PLEASE NOTE the following when making a booking:
- If your child moves up an age category then your child moves down one level in the new age category. For example: 6-8 year Level 4 becomes 9-12 year Level 3 in the next course.
- If you have booked a skiing 4-5 years Level 1, 6-8 years Level 1 or snowboarding Level 1, you can assume that the teacher will cover level 1 and 2. You can then book your child to level 3 for the next course.
- Do you have doubts about the level for (a follow-up) course? Then you can watch the videos below when you choose the level when booking.
