Coronet Peak and the Remarkables

Chad & the view

New Zealand has some of the finest skiing and snowboarding in the southern hemisphere. If you're on a gap year, time out or career break; if you want to get into the ski industry or just improve your technique, this course, run in conjunction with NZSKI, offers an excellent way forward. Trainees will take the new NZSIA Snowsports' Certificate followed by the NZSIA Stage One Instructor module.  Technical training will be at Coronet Peak 5 days a week with trips to The Remarkables. Weekend sessions include shadowing in the Snowsports' School. Also included, is a certificate in first aid, avalanche awareness and team leading training, park and pipe skills, risk assessment, ski patrol introduction and a ski / board maintenance clinic. This is a dynamic, high tempo, fun course where your technique, skills and mountain knowledge are vastly improved. Applicants should be good intermediate skiers or riders (or better) before applying.

QUEENSTOWN
The adventure sports’capital of the world. You can bungee jump, heli ski, luge, jet boat, wake board, canoe, kayak, rock climb, mountain climb and, if you’ve any energy left….. go tramping. The town is also perfect for chilling with heaps of bars, clubs and restaurants. Coronet Peak and the Remarkables, both near Queenstown are two of New Zealand’s premier ski resorts. The character of each is very different, but they are all framed by stunning mountain backdrops. The air is crisp and the snow awesome… let’s go...

CORONET PEAK AND THE REMARKABLES.
Winter in Queenstown kicks off with the opening of Coronet Peak, the crown jewel of New Zealand ski fields. Coronet offers all kinds of terrain, to suit all levels of skiers and boarders. It is a great mountain for running instructor training courses. There is night skiing too under sports’ stadium type lights - surreal.

The Remarkables mountain range is Queenstown's other ski field. Powder bowls and off-piste extremes provide challenges for more advanced skiers. In September, the field hosts the Remarkables Spring Festival - a riot of snow sports and crazy events.
