The package really worth!! You can pick up the gear directly at the mountain (ski/snowboard, boots and helmets), but you have to bring your own clothing, gloves. The service is nice but it was a bit disorganized, we didn’t informed where to wait for the lesson. Luckily we found at the last. A big shoutout to our coach James!! He is very patient and good at teaching. We can all ski by ourself even it’s our first time! Thank you James!

Totally worth the money!A big shoutout to my instructor, Michelle from Germany! She was super nice and always very caring to everyone. Highly recommend it to first-timers and beginners! if u hv no enough time to pick up your ski pass one day before u ski it was totally fine, u still can pick up on top of the mountain. the process was super smooth. there was nothing to be worried, just enjoy and have fun.

collect ski pass at the Queenstown Snow Centre (25 Shotover St) instead of info&snow centre. And the return transport operated by info&snow centre not Coronet&Remarkables. Meet up location was easy to find

thanks for memorable Snowboarding experience, if there was any feedback it would be just a little guidance about the times to get ready and where to go after your fitted, appreciate the instructions of Chey I was able to get going down the slopes turning left and right within the same day lesson very happy with how the day turned out overall

The package comes with ski/snowboard rental, boots, helmets and wrist guards. We got our own goggles, gloves & clothings. Overall, the experience was smooth and all the staff were helpful! On a side note, Nic was a very patient and encouraging instructor. He made the lesson really fun for beginners! Highly recommend him to anyone trying out snowboarding for the first time (:

Since there were no beginner classes at Remarkable that day, I was moved to Coronet Peak. Knowing that this was not my first time learning to ski, they helped me switch to a more advanced class for free. Thank you very much. The coaches here feel more enthusiastic and the place to rent ski equipment is larger. Restaurant fees are also cheaper than remarkable.

Overall, I had a great experience as a first time skier. What I liked: Contrary to some of the reviews I had read, I didn't need to collect my ski equipment the day before. Everything could be rented directly at the mountain, which saved a lot of time and effort carrying equipment around. The ski rental process was smooth, straightforward, and beginner-friendly My ski instructor was fantastic. Within just two hours, I was able to learn the basics and ski confidently enough to enjoy the slopes. There were multiple shuttle pick-up locations available, including one conveniently located right outside my holiday park. Areas for improvement: The collection process could be clearer. Ski passes needed to be collected from one location, rental clothing from another, and ski equipment from a third location. As a first-time visitor, this was a little confusing.

The skiing lessons are fun and the instructor is very patient. Although your whole body will be sore on the first and second days, you will feel a full sense of accomplishment when you can ski independently on the third day.
