im thinking of getting a private park lesson at remarkables =D ...

why private? and why remarks? Do it at snowpark. In a group lesson you won’t have anymore than 3 or 4 other people and the instructors there are really, really good! and its miles cheaper! I’d be willing to bet that half of your precious and expensive lesson time at remarks will be spent going up that lift that services the park!

Definitely mate. I arrive in Queenstown the 2nd morning and will be going straight up to coronet. How about 8pm World Bar meetup for anyone who wants to on the 2nd, I’ll wear a BW tee and a Yellow / Black Beanie.

coz remarks dont do group park lessons..

snowpark id like to.. but dont have a lift pass for it.. so got to consider that plus the lesson fee.. and also the gf might not like it as it is all park terrain and want to do other runs..

its about 180 for 2-3 people for 1hr private lesson

Mint tours are offering an all day (6hrs) coaching session at snowpark for $300 ... Gets cheaper if you get more people together too.

A day at snowpark is so damm fun. how good is your gf? there is a really small park there as well and a run with nothing in it. she might get bored if she doesnt want to try any of the little features though.

she could be in the lesson, too? if you go on a week day, there is a pretty good possiblity that it will just be the two of you in the lesson anyway?!?!

yeah she wants to give it a go.. but hopefully she will like it and land a few beginnner boxes n stuff to get her more into it..  were both intermediate boarders i reckon.. yeah we might be doing it on a thursday.. so hopefully it works out well
