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 Star (1Ére Étoile)


  • I have obtained the Flocon medal.
  • I can link parallel sideslip turns taking into account external factors (terrain profile, other skiers, quality of snow ...).
  • I am balanced by traversing across on low to medium slopes.
  • I can parallel turn (maintaining the angle of edges).

Test :

  • On a moderately steep slope, a series of parallel sideslip turns over a suitably marked out course.
  • Direct traversing line following a curved trajectory.
  • Step turns on a gentle slope (starting off at an angle).

2nd Star (2Éme Étoile)


  • I have obtained the 1st Star level.
  • I can link refined basic parallel turns, I cross the slope in parallel ski and I drive my turns using edges taking into account external factors (terrain profile, other skiers, quality of snow ...).
  • I can ski across terrains of hollows and bumps, facing or crossing downhill while remaining balanced.

Test : 

  • Series of around ten perfect parallel turns over a suitably marked out course on a moderately steep slope.
  • Basic direct line passing over hollows and bumps.
  • Basic skating step.

3rd star (3Éme Étoile)


  • I have obtained the 2nd Star level.
  • I can string together controlled parallel turns. I cross the slope with my skis parallel and I drive my parallel turns using my edges, taking into account external factors (terrain, profile, other skiers, quality of snow...).
  • I master my balance in a schuss over varied terrain (hollows and bumps).

Test :

  • Series of around ten basic turns imposed by 10 to 12 poles, on a moderately steep slope.
  • Basic single garland, on a moderately steep slope.
  • Perfect direct line to build up speed, finished with a braking sideslip, all on a moderately steep slope.

bronze Star (Étoile de bronze)

 
  • I have obtained the 3rd Star level.
  • I've refined basic parallel turns by reducing sideslip.
  • I adapt my Godille (short fast turns) or wide turns taking into account and compensating for external factors (terrain, skiers, type of snow ...).
  • I master my balance in a schuss when taking off from rounded bumps, on piste or on a ground such as skiercross.
  • I am used to skiing in all snow conditions.

Test :

  • Non-timed line assessed by the pupil's ability to complete perfect basic turns, with two changes of rhythm on a varied slope (alternating medium, short and medium-radius turns through 15 to 20 gates).
  • Basic Godille (short fast turns)
  • Passage over bumps with slight take-off on prepared piste or terrain (skiercross type run).

Gold Star (Étoile d'or)


  • I have obtained the Bronze Star.
  • I have discovered alpine skiing in all its forms. 
  • I can ski without stopping on tracks of large gradients, on any type of snow, taking into account external factors and respecting rules of conduct of the skier.
  • I am confident in challenging terrains or areas: e.g. skiercross, halfpipe.

Test :

  • Short giant slalom, timed (maximum 50% more time allowed compared to opener).
  • Technical series of perfect broad and high-speed turns over varied terrain (slope, snow, etc).
