e.g. What level of rider do I need to be?

For the 11 week, the 8 week, and the 5 week courses we ask that you can ride blue runs on and off trail, linking your turns consistently and riding with confidence while enjoying the challenge of the mountain. A willingness to give it a go! Some basic freestyle manoeuvres will be required.
For the 6 week course we ask that you can ride all groomed runs with confidence, and that you can take on the challenge of an off trail run, consistently linking your turns in most conditions. A little background in riding switch and a few freestyle manoeuvres will be required, e.g. riding switch or doing an ollie.
These levels of riding are a starting point and from this point development will be required to achieve the required standard for the NZSIA qualifications (Level 1 and Level 2).
During the 11, 8, 6, 5 weeks there is a lot to learn so that we ask that you have this minimum level before you arrive.
If you feel that you are an athletic person that could improve quickly then there is the possibility for you to be below this level, although we would hesitate to recommend it for everyone.

 

If you are wondering which course is the best for you, then we would recommend that you make this decision based on how much time you have available. Just because you feel that you are a better rider, does not mean that the shorter courses are better suited to you. The qualifications are set at a high standard and because of this they are well respected once you have achieved that standard. The very fact that you are considering the course means that you must enjoy your riding so get down here as early as you can and get the most out of it!

We do ask that if you are doing the 6 week course that you are very confident of your riding level as you will be getting "thrown in at the deep end" quite quickly after you arrive.

If you are really wanting to improve your riding and get a good foundation in snowboard instructing then the 5 week course is ideal.
