New Zealand - Freestyle Ski Session
In addition to quality superpipes, jumps and rails (shaped daily by the official X-Games shaper), you`ll enjoy expert coaching, stylish accommodation and the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand`s South Island. You`ll also have the chance to go heli-skiing and visit New Zealand`s best powder resort.
Open to skiers of all abilities, our New Zealand ski camp is dedicated to those wishing to develop their all-round freestyle skiing skills. Whether you wish to learn a new rail slide, improve your kicker riding, or hit the halfpipe for the first time, our world-class instructors will help you to reach your development goals. Our beginner program will start by teaching you the skills critical to freestyle: switch riding, 360 slides and will then introduce you to small rails, kickers and the beginner pipe. Our intermediate and advanced program is tailored to your needs – whether you want to perfect certain tricks or strengthen your overall freestyle performance, our instructors will deliver. All levels will receive video coaching and participate in trampoline sessions. There`ll be informal workshops on such topics as injury prevention and tuning and waxing.

Day 1: Welcome to our New Zealand ski camp! We`ll pick you up at Queenstown Airport and take you to our base – the laidback resort town of Wanaka which is set on the edge of a spectacular lake and surrounded by the magnificent Southern Alps. Here we`ll stay in stylish, `luxury` houses. Tonight you`ll be free to explore the many shops and cafes of Wanaka
Day 2 & 3 & 4: The freestyle begins! We`ll head to the world`s only freestyle-exclusive resort where you`ll receive full days of coaching with our expert instructors. Terrain includes two superpipes, a beginner pipe, numerous kicker lines for all abilities, a huge rail park, a 15ft wall ride and a quaterpipe. The entire park is serviced by lifts (so no need for hiking) and there is an onsite DJ to keep you pumped all day long. In addition to world-class freestyle terrain, there are also two freeride resorts that we can visit in the event that we get a powder day and the group opts for some freeriding. In the evening we`ll offer video coaching and informal workshops and then we`ll head to the town for dinner.
Day 5: For those wanting to take a break from riding and explore a little more of New Zealand`s spectacular scenery, today we`ll offer an optional activity day. Choose from bungy jumping, 4-wheel dirtbike safari, sky diving, mountain biking, rainforest hiking and more. In the evening we`ll head to the local resort town of Queenstown to check out its countless restaurants, cafes, shops and bars.
Day 6 & 7: The freestyle coaching continues at our ski camp with full days of riding and small group coaching (maximum client-to-coach ratio: 5:1). Those who opted for the heli day will be shuttled off to the mighty Southern Alps for an unforgettable day of powder skiing. After riding there`ll be more video coaching, followed by evenings in the lively town of Wanaka.
Day 8: Our ski camp ends at Queenstown Airport.

Ask any of our past clients and they`ll tell you that one of the coolest parts of our skiing camps is the great people they attract and the fun that these people have hanging out together. Of course, if you want to have a quiet and relaxing holiday to yourself, you`re totally free to do so. If you do want to use our skiing camps to get to know some awesome people and to enjoy some memorable nights out, however, there are always plenty of willing participants and plenty of things to do! Every night we`ll book a restaurant for those who want to eat as a group. Wanaka is home to tons of excellent, reasonably priced restaurants with food for every taste: from Japanese, Indian and Thai to Italian, Chinese and Fish & Chips (budget around US$12 – US$20 per day for lunch and dinner). After dinner the choice is yours, you can hit the bars, watch a movie, head to a café, or just rent a video and chill at home. In either case, prepare to enjoy some memorable nights and delicious food during our New Zealand skiing camps!
