Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between green, blue, and black runs?
Green runs are beginner-friendly (easy turns, gentle slopes). Blue runs are intermediate (steeper, faster carving). Black runs are advanced (steep, moguls, technical).
Why should I avoid powder as a beginner?
Powder is harder to control. You sink, making it difficult to stop or turn. Advanced technique is needed to float and maintain control.
How do I prepare for icy conditions?
Sharpen edges before icy days. Use higher edge angles (carving rather than sliding). Ride cautiously and be ready for reduced grip.
When can I progress to black diamond terrain?
When you comfortably carve all blue runs, control speed consistently, and handle varied snow types. Take lessons on steeps if unsure.
