New Zealand is currently on Covid Alert Level 1, the borders are closed to all apart from returning New Zealand citizens or residents.
So to get down to Queenstown to ski or snowboard you need to be either inside New Zealand already, or a returning New Zealander.
SITCo will be working hard to run as many courses as possible this winter, if you are interested in taking part in some awesome high level ski or snowboard training, then please register your interest.
If you are already inside of NZ borders, then you are allowed to travel freely and we will be running our 5 week Ski and Snowboard Instructor Courses.
SITCo will also be running a number of bespoke Ski and Snowboard Instructor Training options, if you are interested please get in touch.
Are you looking to get some technical input in to your skiing?
Maybe you are getting ready for your Level 1 or Level 2 ski instructor qualification.
If you are then get in touch with us, as we will be running pre instructor qualification technical training sessions in August 2020.
There will be possibilities for Level 1 prep technical weeks, Level 2 prep technical weeks, and Level 3 technical camps.
Which Course is best for me?
Due to the global Covid-19 pandemic many of our courses will be not be possible due to people being overseas, and NZ border restrictions.
Start planning for 2021 - dates for 2021 season will be very similar to 2020.

A fantastic place to live and train. Queenstown is a lively town set amongst the dramatic lakes and mountains of the Southern Alps in New Zealand.
Amazing night life, a great selection of restaurants and an almost unlimited amount of activities: from the adrenaline junky to the outdoor enthusiast, there is something for all in Queenstown.
You will have access to two great ski areas; Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.
They are the best ski and snowboard resorts in the southern hemisphere. Quick lifts, easy access to brilliant terrain, and they both overlook Queenstown, which creates some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
