About this Event
Have you got to get out to the snow this year with a fun welcoming group, which is very beginner-friendly?
Whether you're a first timer (never touched snow!), progressing from lower to upper mountain this year, or just want to get social at the snow, you are very welcome on our Beginner+ trips!
NOTE - all levels are totally invited! If you're already riding upper-mountain that's fine too. Come share your skills with the group.
Sarah is a friendly supportive leader with great social skills which makes these events fun and upbeat for those wanting to progress further up the Maunga, or just have a fun weekend.
Expect socialising, fun and lots of korero and laughter in the bus and hut.
The group will stay in National Park and decide which ski field to visit based on the snow conditions and weather report on the day.
