Overview
The iconic snowboard spring camp is focused on the famous park and pipe features of Cardrona Alpine Resort, in Wanaka NZ!
This camp is all about freestyle progression, building confidence in the terrain park, progressing towards bigger features and learning new tricks, over a two-week period. Ride time will be mostly in the park and pipe, with some skills developed out of the park too. It includes 8 days of park and pipe specific coaching at 5hrs per day (typically Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday), with highly experienced and certified coaches. Note that Wednesdays and the middle weekend may also be utilised if we experience any extreme weather and the resort has to close.
This camp includes a trampoline aerial awareness session at SITE Wanaka and a surfing session/lesson at the local artificial surf wave called YourWave, plus priority lift line access through the snowsports lane at Cardrona.
All camps need a minimum of 4 people to run, with a maximum of 6 per group.
