What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions about Ski New Zealand | 12 Day South Island Snow Odyssey (Haka Tours)
I'm a beginner at skiing, is this tour right for me?
Not quite. This tour is only appropriate for skiers and boarders with at least an intermediate level ability. If you are new to skiing, check ou the 7 Day Snow Safari!
What is the ski accommodation like?
Standard accommodation is quad share, with the option to upgrade to a private room.
Do I need any specialist ski equipment for this ski tour?
No - just normal ski wear and equipment. You can hire ski equipment through The Operator for the 12 days. Rope tow gloves and nut-crackers are included for everyone in the tour price.
What is a rope tow?
A “rope tow” is a type of ski lift in which skiers/boarders are pulled up a slope while grasping a looped, endless rope some driven by a motor and other with the use of a nutcracker.
It may take a couple of attempts to get the hang of it but you should be able to get to grips with it fairly quickly. Snowboarders tend to take a bit longer but your Tour Manager will stay with you until you get it!
I have never used a rope tow before, will I be okay?
Yes! A small group tour like this is perfect for people that have not used nut-crackers and rope tows before because your Tour Manager can spend the time with you to give you loads of instruction and advice.
Everyone struggles at the start using rope tows so it's just a matter of being persistent - it is expected it will take you at least a few attempts until you get the feel for it. It is all part of the experience!
What meals are included on a ski tour?
Your guide will supply a continental breakfast each morning of your tour. This will consist of cereal, toast, spreads, yogurt, fruit, tea, coffee and juice.
Lunches and dinners are at your own expense, though 3 dinners are included on this tour. Your guides know the best places in each town and city depending on your budget and what you are after, and they will point these out on the way into each location.
Some nights the tour group may choose to cook a meal together. You will head to a supermarket to get everything and then cook as a group at the hostel. Whoever joins in splits the cost, and it usually works out to be about $10 – $15 NZD per person. A fun, social and cheap dinner.
Likewise the tour group and guide often head out to a local pub for a beer and a meal. Meals can range from $20 upwards.
