Itinerary
Day 1: Start Queenstown
Queenstown:
- Welcome snow squad! Here in Queenstown (Tāhuna) we have one very clear and common agenda: the perfect week of powder. Whether you’re a pro, mid range or beginner, the world-class terrain here is suitable for all skill levels and abilities, and we’ll be testing out three of the Southern Hemisphere’s best ski fields: Cardrona, Coronet & The Remarkables. Tonight, we’ll start off by getting cosy over a team dinner and sharing our enthusiasm for the week of adventures ahead. Later on, it’s our first chance to hit up the Queenstown nightlife – shall we start as we mean to go on?
PLEASE NOTE: Ski Essentials and Equipment will be available to hire from a local store.
