Snow Garden and P'tits Cracks


Snow garden:
I have never skied and this is my first experience on snow.
I've already done a few ski lessons. I have started to learn how to walk and slide but my snowplough is not very efficient yet.
I can walk, slide, brake and stop. I also know how to make small changes in direction and how to get up after a fall.

P'tits Cracks

The snow garden has no secrets for me. I can sidestep and scissor step uphill. On the ski runs, outside the snow garden, I can already control my skis: I can turn and control my speed on a blue ski run. I can use a button lift on my own.
