Unlike other summer ski and snowboard programs in North America, All Star's New Zealand Snowboard Camp gives clients access to winter conditions with regular fresh snow fall, and guiding at 5 of New Zealand's top resorts. The mountains that we ride at this camp offer all the terrain you could ask for from rolling groomed runs, in-bounds chutes and cliffs, massive gullies, and lots and lots of seldom-ridden off-piste terrain that feels more like backcountry than resort riding.  The value that All Star's New Zealand snowboard camp offers shines bright as the best summer snowboard camp experience on the market. Why settle for anything but the best? You'll be instructed by top pros who coach year-round. Nev Lapwood, our head coach, has an amazing bag of tricks that he teaches to snowboarders almost every day of the year. And, talk about a fun staff to hang out with...these guys are the best! All-Star will provide you with the most unique ski and snowboard travel experience of your life in New Zealand. Pro snowboarders coaches and guides will educate you in all aspects of riding, from shredding extreme terrain to learning tricks in the best parks anywhere, and taking your through safe progressions that allow you to reach a new level in your snowboarding. If you're looking to become a fierce competitor or just a really ripping park and pipe rider; this camp is for you!

The resorts...

The mountain resorts of the Wanaka / Queenstown region where we ride on this camp provide the best natural, park and BX terrain of anywhere in the world, hands down. Parks and pipes are shaped by experts, including the official shaper of the ESPN Winter X-Games. Parks are shaped up each day to ensure you are riding smooth and amazing park terrain. It does not get any better than this anywhere in the world for snowboard camps in July and August! Come enjoy New Zealand, this place is amazing!

There’s 5 resorts where we ride in NZ:

Snowpark NZ and Cardrona are our favorite of the available resorts so we spend most of the time at these two. We do a group vote each day on where to go.

Beware that the first time you walk up to one of the resorts we ride, the pristine condition and extensive variety of terrain may be overwhelming. World-class park and pipe shapers, along with imaginative staff, create some of the most inventive and groundbreaking terrain features of anywhere in the world. Superpipes, cut to World Cup standards, is a central feature of SnowparkNZ providing endless hours of riding pleasure. Mixing it up in parks at Cardrona, Snow Park, Coronet Peak and the Remakables is a succession of kickers and tabletops viewable from the lift so you can check out the action and plan your next run. On top of that there is also a variety of boxes and rails, quarter pipes, hips, spines, step-ups, cliff drops, wall rides, and so much more.

From first time park riders to the most advanced, our New Zealand snowboard camp offers something for everyone. Always a popular element of the parks, are the beginner jumps and boxes allow for easy and fast progression. If you don’t think you are ready for the Superpipe check out the learner’s pipe and hit the beginner boxes on your way back to the lift. You can choose a new line each time you get off the lift. Improving and going bigger each run. When riding in such a relaxed and varied atmosphere, New Zealand is somewhere that progress is inevitable.

Join us for Ski Camp in New Zealand! Experience the trip of a lifetime!

New Zealand-Snowboard-Camp

 

Wanaka / Queenstown is home to the largest resorts in New Zealand – boasting five resorts. The riding is most similar to Whistler Canada or Mammoth California, with a wetter, maritime snowpack that sets up very quickly and hangs onto all kinds of faces and rock outcroppings, making for perfect cliff take-offs and chutes. High speed chairlifts including a high-speed six-pack make the lift system modern, and the snow making systems for the terrain parks are those leading the industry standard. Helmets are required for Under-18 participants and recommended for others.
