mountainThe Resort

Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are incredible resorts, each with their own special unique aspects. Both offer amazing skiing and boarding. Imagine being able to go to these resorts every day!

heli-tripHeli-Trip

Heli-skiing (or boarding!) is definitely one of the most amazing experiences you can ever have, and one that is always one of the best days of the course. Get lifts up to the top, and ride back down, then do it again! Included in the cost, and not to be missed.

The most common comment after a days heli-skiing is " I don't know what was better, the ride down the mountain, or up in the chopper!" This combo of flying in a helicopter and accessing New Zealand’s best backcountry slopes makes the heli day one to remember and something which we always get great feedback on. We also get a lunch for a king, set on an ice-table. A cold beer is recommended back at the hotel to reminisce.

Don't worry if you've never skied/ridden in powder. You will have improved by the time we go, and there are also always easy terrain options that won't be a problem for anyone. Amazing!

Snow Park NZ

After the exams are done and dusted, we are spending several days at the Snowpark! We'll get training for all levels of rider/skier, by the best freestyle coaches and pros around.

Snowpark is New Zealands largest and most extensive terrain park. It has features to suit all levels and abilities. By the time we get to the later part of the course we'll be really strong skiers and riders, and ready to have fun with a purely freestyle fun with the confidence and skills you've gained.

The freestyle coaches at Snow Park are the best at what they do, and will show you the basics of freestyle, park ettiquette and safety.

Snowpark is dedicated purely to freestyle, and you'll find Jumps, rails, and a worldclass superpipe, all for your enojoyment.

 

australiaAustralia

An optional extra, that is definitely the most exciting and value-packed two weeks you can ever have, as well as a perfect way to wind-down and finish off the NZ course. Jumping around like a kangaroo between The Great Barrier Reef, old growth rainforest, outback bushland and tropical beaches whilst filling every day with amazing adventure activities. Check it out, and consider it....

If you are considering it, we recommend looking into airlines that will allow you to fly into NZ, and out of Australia. Most will do this for the same price or similar.

job oppsJob Opportunities

We have partnered with several resorts, and due to the reputation of Peak Leaders training, these resorts will offer positions to candidates in the early stages of the course, for the following Northern Hemisphere season! Though not guaranteed, in the 2007 course, every candidate who wanted a job, got one!
