Wanaka, where the SnowSkool snowboarding instructor course is based, is surely one of the most beautiful places on earth...the lake, the snow-capped peaks, the friendly, outdoorsy and cheery Kiwis. Quite simply, it is a magical place with some fantastic snowboarding to be had in the nearby hills. SnowSkool operates at Cardrona (Cardies) for the simple reasons that it is about the best place in the world to ride (between July and September!) – ensuring you will develop your riding to the maximum extent whilst your friends at home run around dodging the inevitable summer showers!
