I have passed the "3ème étoile". I can already do basic parallel turns.
I'm going to learn :
Refining turns by skidding less.
Using short swings or long turnsto adapt one's skiing to external elements such as terrain, other skiers & types of snow.
Keeping a good balance when 'schussing' and taking off on whale-back bumps on a piste or on snowpark features.
Test ESF : Etoile de Bronze
The tests ESF "Etoile" are held on Fridays during the lessons.
Assessment :
A non timed slalom with 2 changes in rhythm on varied terrain showing the ability to parallel turn (15 to 20 gates alternating mid, short, mid radiuses).
Basic short swings
Riding a bump and taking off slightly, on a piste or on a snow park feature
