Hi All – happy (almost) winter!

This is a great weekend for families from Andersons Bay School, from beginners to seasoned veterans, or

those just keen to ski/ride with other families from within the school community at Cardrona.

We have provisional bookings for the following dates this year:

● Sat 17th and Sun 18th August

● Sat 7th and Sun 8th September

The offer we get from Cardrona is open to school pupils and staff and their immediate family. The package

is for the mountain only. You’ll need to organise your own transport to and from the mountain, and

accommodation. And whilst this is organised via a school newsletter it is not an official school trip, your

children are your responsibility at all times on the hill.

This year’s rates are:

• Lift/lesson/rental package (Rates are per person per day. Under 6 receive free lift pass)

Rates:

• Lift Pass & Lesson * $86
• Lift Pass, Lesson & Rental Hire $118

* Please note that this school deal includes a ski/snowboard lesson per day. The payment of the lesson is

compulsory as part of the deal, whether you actually attend your lesson on the day or not. The group

lessons time is 8:30am to 10am approx.

If you require clothing hire, rates are as follows:

● Full clothing (jacket/pants) rental $30/day.

● Half Suit (jacket or pants) rental $20/day

● Goggles rental $15 per day.

As lessons start at 8.30am it means an early start to get up the mountain (7:30am at base building). But the

benefit is a full days skiing/riding, and car parking pretty much outside resort base.

Children Under 6? Under 5?

2024 information is as follows:

Children under 6yrs receive free lift passes.

Children under 5yrs who are travelling as part of a family with school age children cannot participate in

school group lessons but they are welcome to rent ski equipment at the NZ school group rates. Under 5’s

can be booked in advance to Cardona’s fully licensed childcare facility. For more information, please go to

cardrona.com/winter/plan/childcare-centre/.

We are limited to a group size of around 60 per day, which must include a minimum of 10 school children.

At this stage in I’m just keen to get expressions of interest, for either or both dates.  If you are interested could you please email and let me know:

-how many in your potential party (adults, children)

-which days you want to ski/board,

Could I please have this info by June 7th at the latest.

Let me know if you require more info, or have any questions etc.

Many thanks

Nigel Gardiner
