DAY 1 - Arrive Queenstown
Queenstown
Gather round snow squad - here in Queenstown we have one very clear and common agenda: the perfect week of powder. Whether you're a pro, mid range or beginner, the terrain here is suitable for all skill levels and abilities. We'll get cozy over a team dinner sharing unwavering enthusiasm for the ventures ahead, and no doubt hit up the Queenstown nightlife, starting as we mean to go on...
Stay
Jucy Snooze Hotel (or similar)
DAY 2 - Ski Queenstown
Queenstown
It's our first of 5-days hitting the slopes. Pick a field of the 3 we have to choose from and start sharpening up old skills or attempting to find new ones. With powder white below and blue skies above, it's going to be a very good day.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
4 Day Ski Lift Pass plus Transfer to the Slopes

DAY 3 - Ski Queenstown
Queenstown
Wakey wakey snow legends. Though your body may be feeling the pinch, the mountains won't shred themselves. Nail Coronet Peak yesterday? Perhaps try the Remarkables. Already covered The Remarkables? Hit up Cardrona. You're the kid at the candy store and the choice is yours.
Stay
Jucy Snooze Hotel (or similar)
DAY 4 - Queenstown
Queenstown
With a free day, get a taste for the endless activities in the "World's Adventure Capital". You could try bungy jumping, skydiving, or rafting & that's just the start. Tonight head to one of the town's cool bars or there's the option of a dinner at Skyline Restaurant for some seriously unbeatable views.

DAY 5 - Ski Queenstown
Queenstown
With two days left on the slopes now's the time to really start making it count. Continue to kick it on the slopes, or take the adrenlin up another notch (yes this really is possible in Queenstown) by chucking yourself out of a plane with NZone Skydiving. Are you screaming yet?
Stay
Jucy Snooze Hotel (or similar)
DAY 6 - Ski Queenstown
Queenstown
Now's the time to assess your skill level and test your nerve to the max. Push yourself to that run you've been pussyfooting around and make the most of our final day amongst the white flakes. If you haven't mastered Coronet Peak, Cardrona & The Remarkables then the clock is now officially ticking.
Stay
Jucy Snooze Hotel (or similar)
DAY 7 - Ski Queenstown
Queenstown
That's all folks. Time to take your weary body back to where it belongs and spend a few days reliving our Queenstown extravaganza. NZ, you've been real...
5 stars well deserved the transport to and from the slopes was awesome, being in the middle of Queenstown even better, and our hotel was very clean and great staff.
Despite being a snow novice this trip was perfect for a beginner. Josh was the most friendly, helpful and organised person ever. He's very passionate about Queenstown and it shows, having organised something different every night for the group as well as giving honest reviews about the optional activities. Would definitely do this trip again.
This trip is a brilliant and cost effective way to see Queenstown and all of the slopes. Loved the fact that you get to experience the Remarkables, Cardrona and Coronet Peak and then get he choice of which to visit a second time. Josh is an amazing guide who is super organised and makes it a whole lot of fun. Also really appreciated the fact he gives an honest review of all the added extras and what may or may not be worth your money. Only criticism of trip is be warned that if you’re hiring all the ski gear it can be pricey ($400 for the week for me) Recommend to budget accordingly! Otherwise seriously recommend if you’re looking for a incrediblely fun ski trip!!
Value for money. Slight hiccup in accommodation but got resolved. Amazing tour guide / host and was amazing to be able to go to 3 ski resorts to the experience the different runs. Great fun with an amazing bunch!
I feel way more confident snowboarding now, even off-track. It was the best holiday with a perfect balance of socialising, eating, and shredding. I'll come back to Queenstown for sure.
