    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.
