Winter Courses

Winter courses are run from National Park at the base of the stunning Mt Ruapehu. The snow plays a big part in these courses, and you can expect your course to include three days of skiing/snowboarding on Whakapapa ski field in addition to indoor climbing, abseiling, quad biking, canoeing and jet boating.

In addition to our skilled adaptive instructors, you'll also have the benefit of the talented adapative co-ordinator for Whakapapa and their ski school instructors.

If you'd ever thought of the freedom of flying down a mountain or the challenge of mastering snowsports this winter could be for you! Have a look at the course calendar to see what we have planned or talk to the Back-Up New Zealand team for more details.
