  Ski-LL Level
Use these descriptions to establish your Ski-LL level. All the skis and ski boots presented on our site have a Ski-LL level reference range. Then compare your Ski-LL level to the equipment for appropriate matches.
         
SKI-LL 1-2   SKI-LL 7
You've skied 1 or 2 days and can make wedge turns and stop on easy terrain.   You ski in a comfortable open-stance parallel on all blue and less challenging groomed black terrain. You're developing edge control and can vary your turn shape. You can link turns in easier bumps but have difficulty in moderate to larger bumps and in heavy/wet snow. You're working on improving your turn technique and body position.
       
SKI-LL 3-4   SKI-LL 8
You can link wedge turns and are beginning to bring your skis parallel during the turn. You can stop and control your speed. You're skiing with confidence on easier terrain and are picking up speed - isn't skiing a blast?   You ski the "fall-line" in balance on all groomed runs. You're developing advanced carving and edging techniques and can vary turn shape at a variety of speeds. You ski moderate bumps and light powder in control.
         
SKI-LL 5-6   SKI-LL 9-10
You ski green runs and some blues comfortably. You're linking turns and developing a sense of "carving" the turn. Your stance is narrowing to shoulder width. On steeper blues you don't always link turns and sometimes resort to a wider stance or wedge turn to control speed You have trouble keeping your upper body facing downhill.   You are proficient in all kinds of skiing at dynamic speeds. You ski bumps, powder and heavy snow conditions with relative ease. You d'man!
