On-Snow Objectives:
 
Being a weekend programme, the main objective is spend as much time on snow as possible each day.  At this level we are introducing athletes to ski racing which involves establishing a technical skiing base, safely challenging abilities, exploring the mountain, learning race rules and of course attend some races in the North Island.
 
Off-Snow Objectives:
 
To create an awareness of fitness and how it relates to ski racing.  Enhance skills using tools like video. Develop teamwork and fun activity. Off snow activities are primarily weather driven.

Pricing will be available in March of 2010.
