2006 Freestyle Ski Camp launches in New Zealand

2006 Freestyle Ski Camp launches in New ZealandAccess Trips will launch a 2006 Freestyle Ski Camp in New Zealand to complement its existing ski road trip.

‘The freestyle terrain in New Zealand is of such a high standard nowadays and we get so many campers who are mad for park and pipe that we decided to offer an exclusively freestyle ski camp’ said Access Trips founder Alain Chuard.

Based in Wanaka, New Zealand, the camps run for three consecutive one-week sessions, and offer such extras as heli-skiing, bungee jumping and skydiving. The camp’s terrain includes two superpipes, beginner, intermediate and advanced kicker lines, a huge rail park, a quarterpipe and a wallride. The park is cut daily by the shaper who’s responsible for the Winter X-Games terrain, so the quality is world-class.

When asked why someone should go all the way to New Zealand for a freestyle camp, Chuard said, ‘Apart from the fact that New Zealand is one of the most incredible places on earth, it has winter when the Northern Hemisphere has summer. This means that unlike some summer ski camps whose terrain is slushy in the afternoon, we can offer true winter park and pipe conditions that last all day.’

Access Trips’ New Zealand ski camps run throughout the months of July and August. For more information, go www.accesstrips.com/sports/ski-vacations.
