Dave Mac, it is still down to an examiner to decide where 8 separate turns become linked, how long of a 'pause' between turns can still constitute a linked turn. They might try to define it but it will always be subjective.

Out of interest, what standard is that for?

Nobodys answer is really the same because everyone has a different idea of what an intermediate is and what resort they have visited would the person asking the question. Even if the answers were the same they would perhaps be due to different reasons, no one can really be sure.

I'd hazard a guess at greens-->blues (tending towards greens) being most suitable for people looking for beginner resorts. Blues-->Reds for 'Intermediates' (whatever they are) and reds-->blacks for 'advanced' skiers.

Usually, if someone isn't a beginner, posting a preference for run type would get them a better response. Ie. "likes cruisey motorway blues''.

Timed is only objective in terms of racing!It actually does not say too much in terms skill level unless it is over a technical course and varied course. (in my opinion! ;-))

So to answer your own question, there isn't an objective way of defining 'skill' ;)
