What equipment is available during the weekend? We have a number of mono-skis, bi-skis, outriggers, ski links, high vis bibs and blankets. If you require any other equipment you may contact us before the festival to further discuss your options.
What other activities are there to do during the festival?
Halberg Foundation are exploring extra opportunities. These will be confirmed on the festival program closer to the time, along with any cost details (if any). Snow Sports NZ also host a fun race on the last day of the festival where participants can test their new skills in a timed course to race against the clock or their friends with prizes to be won!
We are currently exploring the possibility of a festival welcome party and group dinner. Details will be confirmed in the festival program closer to the time.
We will do our best to accommodate first timers/ beginners with 1x free (1 hour) private lesson. There may be opportunities over the weekend for extra lessons but this will not be confirmed until on the day.
If you are a beginner, we recommend contacting Cardrona in advance to book additional lessons (these will be at your own cost and there may be limited availability during the Festival).
