About this activity

Check in at our Queenstown store the day before your first day on the mountain; the friendly staff will give you your lift pass and confirm your seat on a ski bus for the next day so make sure you visit the store before 6pm.
The amazing rentals team will get you fitted with your skis, boots and poles or snowboard and boots, jacket, pants, helmet, goggles and gloves (you get to keep the gloves too!). When you're getting fitted, ask the staff about our rental delivery service which applies to a number of hotels and backpackers in central Queenstown.
The next morning, make sure you're at your pick up point 5 minutes before departure - we can't wait for any latecomers as we want to make sure everyone gets the most out of their day on the snow! Once on your bus, enjoy a relaxed and beautiful journey over the Crown Range and up to the top of Cardrona. Your experienced driver will take the stress out of navigating the winding mountain roads so you can sit back and take in the view.
After you've arrived your adventure begins! Make your way to the lesson assemble point and introduce yourself to the qualified instructors.
Explore the slopes and enjoy the numerous cafes, bars and restaurants that accept both cash and credit/debit card payments.
At 4pm the ski lifts close and its time to leave the mountain. Make sure you head straight back to bus to allow your driver to set off promptly and avoid the rush. Either ride the bus back to the shop to drop of your rental gear, or if you have more snow days planned, hop off at your accommodation and keep your rentals with you.
