| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| LEVEL 1 – FIRST TIME SKIER/BEGINNER | Who: I have never skied or; I have tried skiing but I am not yet able to stop with confidence on a gentle slope.

| LEVEL 2: NOVICE | Who: I can stop with confidence on a gentle slope (Lower Bunny Hill). What: I want to work on turning and control to progress to the chairlift and more varied terrain. Where: Session will begin on the handle tow/Bunny Hill and may progress up the chairlift (Hailey’s or Pokey). |
| LEVEL 3: COMFORTABLE NOVICE | Who: I can control my speed and turn on easy green runs (Upper Bunny Hill). I may or may not have ridden a chairlift before. Steeper sections on green runs are challenging (Hailey’s, Pokey). What: I want to ride the chairlift and work on conquering the green runs. Where: Session will take place up the chairlift, on groomed green runs (Hailey’s or Pokey). |
| LEVEL 4: INTERMEDIATE | Who: I can ski in control on green runs and may have begun to explore blue runs. What: I want to explore blue run terrain and improve my skills on steeper slopes and varied terrain. Where: Session will take place on a mix of green and groomed blue runs (Hailey’s, Pokey, Dan’s Descent, Gold Rush). |
| LEVEL 5: ADVANCED | Who: I can ski everything that Mt. Sima has to offer with control and confidence. What: I want specialized instruction to improve my skiing ability to tackle specific terrain and conditions (e.g., carving, moguls, trees, ungroomed/crud). Where: Anywhere and everywhere. Terrain selection will depend on the goals of the lesson. |
