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.
Etoile de bronze
- I have obtained the 3ème Etoile.
- Giant Mini-Slalom:
I am able to quickly link short and wide turns with changes of rhythm. - Ski Cross type run:
I am able to control my balance in a schuss when taking off from rounded bumps - I have a refined style for short fast turns.
- I am comfortable with all snow conditions and external factors like the steepness of the slopes, other skiers and the type of snow conditions.
Etoile d'or
- I have obtained the Etoile d'argent.
- I am able to complete a series of technically perfect, wide, short and high-speed turns over varied terrains.
- I am able to perform jumps and tricks on a prepared piste or terrain (ski cross type run).
- I am confident in challenging terrains or areas: e.g. ski cross, halfpipe
- I am able to perform a giant slalom, within a specified time.
- I am able to ski without stopping on steep pistes and on any type of snow, taking into account external factors. Basically, having the qualities and skills of any great skier!
