Welcome to Adventure Consultants' Private Ski and Snowboard Mountaineering Trips. These trips are designed for those people who can not fit into our regular scheduled dates of our standard course, or who would prefer to just go and make some turns or have one on one instruction. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s most qualified and experienced skiers and instructors on our Private Ski and Snowboard program.

Private Trips give you the option to create your own itinerary and content. Whether you aspire to further your skill base through a course in ski mountaineering or you just want to go skiing or snowboarding, the Private Ski and Snowboard Trips are the best option.

Contact us to discuss your aspirations and schedule, and we will work with you to design an appropriate and stimulating course format. These courses can be arranged for groups of any size and past course participants have enjoyed dramatic improvements in their touring skills.

This trip will usually operate in either Westland National Park, Mt Cook National Park or Aspiring National Park, depending on where conditions are best.  Each has it's own huge selection of glaciers, bowls and peaks to explore while learning skills. We will be based from one of the local mountain huts after accessing the glaciers by helicopter or ski plane.  This allows us to start skiing the minute we get up each morning.  


 
Dates:  The season for winter ski touring in New Zealand's Southern Alps is July through October
