No Candidate may enter for Parts (a), (b) and (c) of the Second Class
Test until he has passed the Qualifying Test, and no Candidate may
enter for the Qualifying Test until he has passed the Third Class
Test.
The Qualifying Test consists of three parts, which may be passed on different days and before different judges, but which must all be passed in the same season.
Part (a).—Four continuous Lifted Stemming turns on a slope of hard snow at an angle of 25-30 degrees.
Part (b).—Four continuous Telemark turns on a slope of soft snow at an angle of 25-30 degrees.
Part (c).—Christiania swings to a standstill (right and left) from a direct descent at a fair speed.
INSTRUCTIONS TO JUDGES.
1. Not more than three attempts at any one part should be allowed on the same day.
2. The Christianias should be done on the level or on a gentle slope after a descent from a steep slope, as a stop Christiania is more difficult on the level than on the slope.
3. The Judges must require a considerably higher standard of steadiness and certainty than in the Third Class Test. The object of the Third Class Test is to ensure that candidates learn the correct methods of making the turns. The object of the Second Class Test is to ensure that candidates can make practical use of these turns on moderately steep slopes.
