Snowboarding ability levels are divided into four different categories describing your present level of riding. The table below has these four categories further divided. Use this table to find the level most appropriate for you. Still not sure? Please email snowboarding@highparkskiclub.com with any questions that you may have.

Level	Present Riding Ability	Goal
Beginner	First time rider	Basic balance, side slipping on both edges, getting on and off chairlift
	Second time rider	Traversing, stopping and linking turns on green terrain
Novice	Apprehensive Novice - has ridden a chair lift, can turn and stop under control, green runs are manageable but cause anxiety	Better stance and balance, speed control, adding movement to turns
	Comfortable Novice - feel at home on green runs but rarely venture onto a blue run	Different size and shape turns on green terrain
Intermediate	Apprehensive Intermediate - can ride most blue runs, however do so with some reservations	Link turns, refining movements and snowboard performances on blue terrain
	True Blue Intermediate - comfortable on blue runs, black diamond runs are an adventure rarely taken	Ride varying terrain, ride switch
	Aggressive Intermediate - attack blue runs routinely, however, black diamond runs are somewhat humbling experience	Explore more challenging terrain, introduction to freestyle, introduction to carving
Advanced	Advanced - enjoy the challenge of black diamond runs...some more than others	Link turns on black terrain, intermediate carving turns, terrain park, jumps
	Expert - boldly ride all black diamond runs	Advanced carving turns, terrain park, jumps, moguls

原来snowboard只要能在黑道上能linked turns就可以算离9级只差一步了呀
