NZ Tours - Skiing/Snowboarding 1 Day

The 2007 NZ Ski and Snowboarding Season is upon us - the slopes are open and waiting for you! This Skiing/Snowboarding trip is ideal for those who want to learn to ski or snowboard in NZ, improve their skills on the slopes or for those who want to throw a few snowballs, take a tourist chairlift ride or try out a toboggan mat.  The possibilities are endless.

Hamilton is just 3 hours from the ski slopes of Mount Ruapehu in the centre of the North Island.  The main ski area is called Whakapapa where Happy Valley is the perfect start for beginners. Our trip leaves at 5am to hit the slopes when they open. This gives you time to get kitted out with skis, boots and poles before the Auckland crowds arrive and a fantastic 6 hours to ski or snowboard 'til you drop! Exceptional value for money.
