Reflections of a Snow Trainer
Fri, 7 March 2014
So much for bungy jumping Will!
Having always had a passion for skiing and travel I was in need of someone who would make it possible for me to combine the two for a-once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Five minutes on Google left me spoilt for choice. Heaps of companies looking to make my trip happen - so why Snow Trainers?
The Location
New Zealand is an amazing country. Queenstown is a hive of extreme sport with a beautiful backdrop. Everyone is in the town because they are pursuing what really makes them tick and this makes for good times all around!
The Career Assistance
Matt and Tony have years of experience in the snow sports industry and offer priceless assistance and advice at the end of the course. They give you the best possible chance to find a place in ski schools around the globe.
The Crew
Why wouldn't you want to spend 11 weeks with like-minded people from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe? Learning from each other, trading stories, and making friends for life in the process!
The Après
Away from the on-snow training Matt, Tony and Renski arrange as much as possible for the crew; from frisbee golf, scavenger hunts, jug nights, talent shows, bungee jumps, heli-skiing, the list goes on!
The Training
The sessions on-snow are taken with experienced professionals at the top of their game. This creates a real fun and interactive format giving you the best chance for success.
Where am I now?
Having spent an awesome 4 months in New Zealand I'm now working in Niseko, Japan and couldn't be more stoked. Working abroad in metres of snow bringing skiing to the people of Asia all thanks to the team at Snow Trainers!

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!
