The scheme fits in well with the way we teach rollerskiing, as we cover all the various different components of the classic and skating cross-country ski techniques. Usually beginners will have achieved the 2 or 3 Star level on rollerskis by the end of one of our 4-week courses, and the 1 or 2 Star level on our Dorney 1-day course. More advanced skiers should be aiming for the higher Stars.
