Let me tell you if you have never been on one…. You have definitely missed out. This year Antoine will be doing the camps with us for the first time so the ladies will be very happy…all that french charm! 

The camps are great for everybody really from a social point o view, very tiring after all that hard work on the mountains some of the campers manage to have margarithas before 5.30 just to get a light relief from all the pain we have caused during the day…

Actually I have really enjoyed the camps because fun loving people get together who are passionate about skiing and who love to improve, push themselves a bit and most of all love to have fun in the mountains and on the dance floor… Both being crucial in being a good camper…

We try to teach everybody skills to improve their own style , give them tips about the right equipment and boot set up, technical advice of course and a lot of it is learning how to manage certain situations and how to manage oneself in those tricky, difficult situations. Some of the campers get out of their comfort zone and learn how to deal with the situation and others realise that they are actually capable of doing a lot more than they thought . After 4 days of hard work and fun I can honestly say that everybody goes home happy and feeling like they have accomplished something….and for Fiona and myself. We are happy to go to the pillow show early the last day.

JOIN us this year at Cornet Peak or Treble Cone

I was talking to a friend in Queenstown on Friday….he reported the snow falling, even settling on the ground….winter is definitely on it’s way as the next day my sister text me from Wellington to say she could see snow on the mountains at the top of the South Island.  Time to start looking for flights south, Ski Traveller has some great hotel, apartment, rental car & lift pass deals for Queenstown, Wanaka and Methven this year….come in and see us or give us a call to book your South Island winter getaway.
