Skills required for COPE certification

You should be comfortable that you can ski/board safely down any pisted run.  On a red run you can do good linked turns down the fall line.  You should have some experience of going off-piste and be able to link some turns in soft snow.   You should have attended a HAT talk and HAT on snow training before.

However you can do an intensive version without previous training.  You should purchase the online talk before you come to Val d’Isere or Tignes and then come prepared to learn a lot.
