flocon


  • I have obtained Ourson level.
  • I control my speed and traverse across the slope using snowplough turns.
  • I remain balanced while sliding faster with skis parallel both across and down the slope on both skis or from one ski to the other, over a smooth terrain on a gentle slope.
  • I can brake, stop and start again myself.

Test :

  • Series of 7 to 8 snowplough turns with the skis brought back to the parallel position in between, over a suitably marked out course.
  • Parallel direct line across the slope following a roughly straight trajectory.
  • Test of balance when skiing while facing down the slope (with little jumps, from one foot to the other or over little bumps, etc.) on a gentle slope.

1st Test ESF Level.
Inside Club Piou Piou!

With this level your child will learn to do the following:
  • Put their own boots and skis on. 
  • Use the ski lift for the first time
  • Control their speed and make turns reproducing the movement of different types of skis on their feet. The movements will be varied but almost on flat beginner slopes.
  • They will face parallel to the slope and be able to stop by a snowplough turn.







In Summary:
Your child will learn how to do many things alone:
• use the lifts, control my speed, sliding snowplough, making turns and stopping. 

They will even be able to follow you (parents) on green slopes.
