Testimonial

Peakleaders provided a brilliant springboard and a bit of a lifeline for a thirtysomething bored lawyer! I took a snowboard instructors course with Peak Leaders in NZ 2005, having become dismayed at my legal career and needing a break. Having passed the course it appeared for a while that I had satisfied my wanderlust and could settle for a while. I'm now full cert AASI qualification and impending season looking at being a trainer!
