Final week of NZ school holidays

It’s the final week of the NZ school holidays, and the mountain is buzzing! That means more hustle and bustle around the place, so here are a few pro tips to help you win the school holiday game (and maybe avoid a tantrum or two). Hot tips for a smooth holiday: 

Sort your passes and rentals in town before you head up, especially if you’re catching the bus. Then you can head right to the slopes when you arrive- future you will thank you. See our town locations here. 
Thinking about Treble Cone? Now’s the perfect time; all lifts are spinning, and First Timer Lessons are running.  Plus you won’t find a better view to wobble in front of). 
Park at Valley View if it’s spinning! If you’re an intermediate skier/boarder, you can save the last couple of kilometres up the mountain road and hit the slopes immediately. See trail map here. 
Our Ski Kindy still has space these holidays, so drop the littlies off, and we can take care of the fun. Ski lessons can be part of the package, so you can ski or ride, knowing your kids are having the best time ever. Book here.
