Snowboard instructor and ski instructor courses in awesome Wanaka New Zealand

Wanaka is a small but stunning Alpine resort, situated on the eastern shores of Lake Wanaka New Zealand. Nestled at the base of the breathtaking Southern Alps, Wanaka is surrounded by the World heritage listed Mount Aspiring National Park,

High mountains, reliable snow, dry powder and the largest skiable terrain in Australasia. These things give Wanaka some of the best skiing and boarding in New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere.

The region offers a complete winter sports destination. The two major alpine resorts, Cardrona and Treble Cone, are what Wanaka is best known for in winter. Between them these fields share everything from well groomed beginner slopes and trails to black diamond chutes and broad powder bowls.
The Southern Alps that surround Wanaka are renowned for heliskiing and heliboarding. From the Mt Aspiring region to Mt Cook there is an immense expanse of pristine mountain slopes.

Complimenting all this is an intimate and breathtakingly beautiful resort village. The atmosphere is special, relaxed and convivial. All the ingredients are here for a memorable experience; great bars, cafes and restaurants and any amount of off-snow adventure activities; from skydiving to golf, mountain biking to winery tours.

A stable continental climate ensures crisp sunny winter days with an average temperature of 10 centigrade and cool frosty nights with temperatures below zero.

The Season:

• June/July
  The fields open around 25th June. The snow is dry and the town is cranking over the school holiday period up until mid July.
• August
  The middle of the season, and the busiest. Reliable dry snow on a good base.
• September
  Again, one of the most reliable months for snow and the month locals ski most! Longer days and top to bottom cover on the fields. And no crowds.
• October
  The season ends, usually, in mid-October.
