Something like a checklist where you can find out what level you ride at. Like beginner, intermidiate, and expert.

  1. I beleive it's all hands on no on line stuff not to be brutal but relax it's about having fun not a skill level


  2. Most snowboarding schools have a rating system to help their students identify where they are at. Here is one I found. But really don't worry what your "LEVEL" is,  snowboarding is all about refusing to be labled afterall :)

    ONE: You have never snowboarded before.

    TWO: You can perform a skidded traverse on both heel-side and toe-side edges and can stop.

    THREE: You can perform skidded traverses in both directions with confidence and can make basic turns in both directions.

    FOUR: You can turn in both directions with speed control and are working on linking turns.

    FIVE: You are linking skidded turns with good speed control and shape, and are seeking more challenging terrain.

    SIX: You are confident on most intermediate terrain under good conditions and are beginning to carve turns.

    SEVEN: You are comfortable on all intermediate terrain under good conditions. You are fine-tuning carved turns and seeking more challenging terrain including bumps and varying snow conditions.

    EIGHT: You are confident performing carved turns and are refining technique in all snow conditions and terrain.

    NINE: You can negotiate the entire mountain with confidence and ease, working on the fine points of efficiency and exploring the extremes of riding.
