Snow Trainers excel in NZSIA and SBINZ Level 1 Ski and Snowboard exams
Thu, 25 August 2011
The guys get into the exam teach
Our team sat their level one exam recently and we had some awesome results.
This is the introductory level certification for both Skiers and Snowboarders that for those thinking of entering the Snowsports industry will give a great insight into what working as an instructor is really like. The assessments are over 4 days for the Skiers and 5 days for the Snowboarders with the final exam teach on the final day.
What some of our students said about the Level 1 training and exam:
“The training is pretty vital if you’ve never had formal lessons, everyone needs an eye opener and the standard of instruction is next level” – Chris
“A highlight was being able to see the changes in your riding and feeling the improvement continuously” – Fiona
“The training prepared me extremely well for the exam. Not only did it vastly improve my riding, I was also completely mentally prepared and confident going into it” - Ryan
So massive congratulations to everyone and back to preparation for the level 2 exam in a few weeks. NZ 2011 crew - you rock!

Powder + Sunshine + Heli = An Epic Day!

All the 2011 Snow Trainers with our lift for the day
We had our Snow Trainers Heli trip recently – and the crew were all over it!
Everyone piled into the minibus for the hour trip to the landing zone. We then organised into groups of 6 including guides and went through safety procedures and how the day was going to run, anticipation building.
Then it was time to roll. The Heli ferried each group to the drop point for each run, and from there it was all about enjoying the experience with friends. With everyone scoring fresh tracks there were big smiles all round. A quick stop for lunch, then it was straight back into it with a couple of drops to round off the day.
Check out the pictures - Good times.

Welcome to our fresh new Snow Trainers Blog: Words from the wise

Say Hi to the NZ 2011 crew!
We are super excited to announce our fresh new blog.
This is going to be the place to find out the most up-to-date info on what is happening at Snow Trainers HQ and up on the hill. We want to give a real insight into what it is like to train with us.
Our philosophy here at Snow Trainers is simply:
- Give you the best possible Skiing and Snowboarding training possible
- And wrap that in an unforgettable winter experience, and we want to share this with you.
But its not about us, its about you, the crew that make up the Snow Trainer skiing and Snowboarding family; past, present and future. We want to hear from you, what have you done since completing one of our Skiing or Snowboarding courses? Or are you planning on doing one of our courses and you want to find out more? Let us know.
We will also be sharing Skiing and Snowboarding films we like, the music we like and some of our favourite gear.
So remember to check in here and see what’s going on, or follow us on Twitter and Facebook (the links are at the top of the page) to see new posts. If there is anything that you would like to see on here let us know and we will do out best!
So sit tight and keep an eye on us.

Sometimes when you ride lots of spring slush you think back to those Pow days when that slush was still fluffy! So much fun with the Snow Trainer crew having the time of their life!
