Downhill Ski Ability Levels (from HPSC)

bullpower

S.T.E.P. is the Skier Technical Evaluation Program. It was developed by the C.S.I.A. and is used by ski schools across Canada to help skiers find an environment conducive to improving their ability. Skiing ability is divided into nine different categories describing your present level of skiing.

Use the following chart to find the S.T.E.P. most appropriate for you.

S.T.E.P.	Present Skiing Ability	Goal
1	Alpine skiing for the first time.	To develop confidence and control on beginner slopes and be able to link turns.
2	Skiing with linked wedge turns on novice slopes.	To achieve better balance on the outside ski and skis parallel at the end of the turn.
3	Skiing with skis becoming parallel at end of wedge turns on novice slopes.	To have skis parallel earlier, achieve skidded arc with skis parallel, develop confidence on novice slopes.
4	Skiing with skis parallel through last half on the turn on intermediate slopes.	Strengthen edge control, develop rhythmical skiing on novice and some intermediate slopes.
5	Skiing with rhythm and edge control using only a slight wedge to initiate turns on intermediate slopes.	To improve style and have skis consistently parallel on intermediate slopes.
6	Skiing in control with skis consistently parallel on intermediate slopes.	Develop short turns on intermediate terrain working on rhythmical and athletic skiing.
7	Skiing rhythmically on intermediate slopes.	To refine edge control and develop rhythmical skiing on intermediate slopes.
8	Skiing short turns and parallel turns on advanced slopes.	To improve ski performance by working on adaptation to varying terrain and snow conditions.
9	Skiing linked parallel turns in bumps on intermediate slopes.	To work on foot independence and learn tactics to approach bumps and unusual terrain.

俺的水平不够CONSISTENT。今天网上瞎找，感觉这段描述挺准确：

Skier Ability: Intermediate to Advanced: Sometimes these skiers are intermediate, and on a good day, they are advanced, but hard to commit to one level. They can ski most places on the mountain, sometimes with a little difficulty, but always making it down without crying and calling ski patrol.

当然所谓ADVANCE啥的，那不是说我。
ADVANCED BEGINNER 到 INTERMEDIATE INTERMEDIATE 其实挺合适我。

照这个标准，我觉得
INTERMEDIATE 瓶颈是5 到 6，就是去掉WEDGE，这个需要时间，是个细活，要磨细节
不知道俺多长时间能毕业。

ADVANCED瓶颈是6-7，简简单单一句Skiing rhythmically 估计又得磨去好几个雪季。

已俺目前的眼光看，只要突破了7， 8和9反而比较坦荡。
