Spend a Ski Season in New Zealand

All eyes here at Nonstop have been on the current season in the northern hemisphere lately, It's been awesome to see endless photos of skiers and snowboarders on our instructor courses and performance camps charging through biblical snowfall in Canada and France. Once again it's been an epic season up north - and still very much is with a couple  months left to go! That's why it was a pleasant surprise to hear reports of another big snowfall... only this time it was in New Zealand!

New Zealand Scenery Porters, New Zealand

As I was wrapping things up in the office the other week, I managed a quick chat on Skype with Jase, our technical director in NZ. Much to my surprise he said that it was absolutely puking up on the mountains down there... but isn't it only just autumn if not still late summer??! A quick look at the NZ forecast will tell you it's supposed to be a pleasant 18 degrees tomorrow, yet last weekend Jase and his mates enjoyed the whole of Mt Hutt to themselves thanks to a skidoo and knowing the right people! Check out this video of them getting some very early pre-season turns in!


I haven't been able to stop thinking about New Zealand since my chat with Jase. I spent most of a season down there during one of my summer holidays at uni - gotta love those student loans - and I haven't been able to stop grinning at the  memories. New Zealand boasts awesome terrain and every time you take a moment to look around you can't help but pretend you're in the Lord of the Rings... Frodo and his mythical sledge, shredding the gnar in search of the ultimate face shot... well maybe that was just me.

Skiing in New Zealand Frodo Gets Steezy in a Onepiece

New Zealand is an unbelievable place to ski. We run our course from Porters which boasts two of the longest in bounds off piste runs in New Zealand and we regularly visit the powder havens of the club fields. Many of our previous participants have gone on to work as instructors in New Zealand, Europe, Canada and North America. In fact one of them has even become the ski director of a resort in NZ!  Our course is a must for any budding ski instructor or anyone wanting to take their skiing to the next level in the mythical setting of New Zealand.
