Your vacation planning community

I've see a few posts about people being a "level 4 or 5 skier". What does that mean....I mean how do you gauge that? Is there a standard like if you can make snowplow turns your a 2 etc.? Is there somewhere I can go to be more informed about this and how to gauge my progress?

Matt does rock (and Dave does too). My 4 year old was doing bumps, blue blacks, and glades after these 2 great instructors ran him and a couple of other rowdy boys all over the mountain. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
