Ski adventure

Excellent tour, had the best time. Hoping to do it again next year. Had a small group. Simon (our tour guide) was an exceptional host. He showed us 5 different ski fields in 5 days. Everything, like accommodation, travel and breakfast was organised and at a high standard.
If we had any trouble, Simon would sort it. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys skiing/ boarding even if your only a beginner or an expert.

A wild, but really luxurious adventure

I've been on a few ski tours now, and this has to be my favourite so far. Five mountains in five days, travelling across the beautiful New Zealand landscape. It was a tour with a lot of soul, and no expense or detail seems spared by Simon Bowie, the owner-operator of Green Kiwi Tours. He took the time to show us the sights and take us to smaller private ski club mountains that typically aren't included in large tours. As for how it's run, it's typically a choose-your-own-adventure kind of setup; Simon gets the group to the mountain, then there's a discussion as to whether we'll all ski together or do our own thing. Meet up for lunch, pick a departure time, rinse and repeat. Very chill. Each end-of-day stop was pretty lush—one even had a sauna. More was included in the tour than I initially thought, ski hire out of Christchurch is also so much cheaper than out of Queenstown.

That much skiing is a lot. Definitely worth getting your fitness up ahead of the trip to guard against injuries. But it was a wild adventure—with private accommodation that isn't much more expensive than doing a backpacker equivalent or staying in Queenstown for six nights. It's one I'd happily do again—if that's any recommendation to go by.
