Austrian Ski Curriculum Adults

To get and keep a better Overview on your Skill Progress, the Tyrolean Association of Skiing Instructors graded the various Levels according to colors.

These Levels are standardized and you can expect to find them in professional Tyrolean Snow Sports Schools. Similar to the grading of slopes the colors range from green to blue and from red to black.

It is important to us, to let you know which Levels you will go trough, to improve your Skills.

Here we list the up to date Curriculum.
