Our mission is to provide an opportunity for growth as a skier and snowboarder to as many young people as possible. This journey will bring joy and a passion for Snowsports to everyone that attends.
The Academy gives young skiers and snowboarders a new perspective on their hobby. This programme covers the “Learn to Train” part of the Snowsports progression. This is the time when the kids start learning about training and extending themselves. It is expected that everyone taking this option will strive to progress in their discipline, whatever they choose. This program can lead on to Parks Squad, TC Freeride Team, or Wanaka Ski Team.
Our programmes for Winter 2023 will be subject to Cardrona and Treble Cone's terms and conditions

If you have local kids over 10 years who are advanced skiers or riders, this is the programme for them! The Cardrona Academy coaches will help style up their lines through the park, shred big mountain with style and blitz the gravity cross course. Our coaches deliver in a style which creates a fun, open atmosphere. The success of the camps requires some self-motivation and responsibility from each participant. These experienced and older kids appreciate a little more freedom and specific input when being coached, compared to more formal ski/snowboard school programmes
