A Summer of Snow in New Zealand

October 2016Blog4 minute readBy Emma Dyson

Whilst the UK has been enjoying the hottest September in 70 years, the New Zealand ski and snowboard instructor courses have been drawing to a close.

The whole group has done incredibly well, with interns passing their level 2 and everyone improving immensely during the New Zealand ski season. A huge shout out goes to Matt and Sophie, who both passed levels 1 and 2 in just 5 weeks on our intensive short instructor course.

It’s been a great season in Queenstown. A great time has been had by all, and here are some brilliant photos of the group during their time in the resort. Best of luck to everyone; we hope to see you out on the slopes in your instructor jackets soon!

Queenstown, it’s been a blast – see you next year!
