 Phew! where did the year go?
It's Holiday time and what better place to spend your holidays but in SNOW? Think of dry powdery snow and ski/board areas where closures are virtually unheard of, bargain lift passes, fast moving queues, uncrowded slopes and alpine villages right in the snow, long, long seasons with crisp clear days and fresh overnight snowfalls. All this and more is waiting for you in Canada and USA where every day is a Guaranteed Ski Day. But you do need to act now to get what you want when you want it and at the best price.

Are you a novice/intermediate skier? |
Don’t be intimidated by the thought of skiing or boarding the amazing slopes in North America if you’re a novice or intermediate skier.
If you are planning your first international skiing holiday you may worry that the skiing in North America is difficult and may be beyond your capabilities. The reality is quite the opposite.
There’s no ice, no queues, no closures, no crowds plus wide open runs. Your accommodation, restaurants, bars and shops are all on mountain. To start your day, simply open your doors, put on your skis/board and the fun starts right at your doorstep.
The long wide green or blue runs are mostly 3-5kms long, are uncrowded and you don’t have to worry about that out-of-control boarder behind you! Most runs are groomed each night so it is easy skiing. They are long easy cruising wide open tree lined runs, very pretty, very easy and exhilarating. This is skiing the way it’s meant to be!
The bottom line is if you can ski in NZ’s tough weather and mountain conditions you will find the conditions in North America paradise!
