A Ski Week is relentlessly uplifting non-virtual reality of a deliciously alpine nature. All snow lovers tend to shed their worries as they gain altitude. Ski Weeks supersize that warm fuzzy feeling with an entertaining mash-up of fellow travellers committed to sniffing out the best snow, and creating real memories so good you’ll turn off your phone notifications.
Ski Weeks run throughout the season starting on a Sunday and finishing the following Friday. They include six days skiing and five nights fully-catered accommodation. You need to book and pay in advance to secure your chosen dates. Bookings open to members in May and to non-members two weeks later. As you’d expect for such a unique Kiwi snow experience, most Ski Weeks have their long-standing regulars (in the case of Dogtuckers — for decades). Common threads of fun, frivolity and freeride abandon stitch the Ski Week calendar together.
