Cross-country Skiing Ability Levels Guide
Never-Ever
I have never skied before, and I am not comfortable on flats, gentle hills, or stopping. I do not know the difference between classic and skate skiing.
Beginner-Novice
I have skied before, recreationally or in a lesson (alpine or Nordic). I am comfortable on flats, and gentle hills, and can stop safely. I know the difference between classic and skate skiing, and the basics of one or both. I am not sure how far I can ski.
Low-Intermediate*
I have skied for several seasons but would like to ski more efficiently. I am comfortable on varied terrain and moderate hills. I can ski at different speeds, stop safely, and make snowplow turns. I know the difference between and can perform some classic techniques (diagonal stride, double pole, step double pole) and/or skate techniques (1-skate, 2-skate, offset).
*"Intermediate” covers a broad range of abilities. Intermediate/advanced cross-country skiers can demonstrate transferrable skills for both classic and skate skiing. However, an intermediate skate skier may not equal an intermediate classic skier if you have never been on classic skis. If you do not have equal experience, “level down” if taking a lesson where you have less experience.
High-Intermediate*/Advanced
I have skied for many seasons and would like to refine certain skills. I am confident on blue and black cross-country trails with steep hills. I know the difference between and can perform classic techniques (diagonal stride, double pole, step double-pole), and/or skate techniques (1-skate, 2-skate, offset) and beyond.
*"Intermediate” covers a broad range of abilities. Intermediate/advanced cross-country skiers can demonstrate transferrable skills for both classic and skate skiing. However, an intermediate skate skier may not equal an intermediate classic skier if you have never been on classic skis. If you do not have equal experience, “level down” if taking a lesson where you have less experience.
