never been before, do you wear snowbaord gear like you would if you went to the moutnaint or............??

All depends on if you think snow is cold!!!!:dodge: :laugh:

[Qkchk]

If you dont have a ski jacket/pants you can hire them there. A jacket and pair of pants costs $7 each for the night and hirage of gear is $14 (Skis/boots/poles or Board/Boots). If you want to ski/board for 1 hour its $29 but the better deal is $39 which gives you 4 hours so you can come and go as you please and gives you more than enough time on the slope. Have a look at their website www.snowplanet.co.nz

Something to take into condiseration:
Everyone who skii's or boards MUST HAVE ski gloves. Just one of their regulations - try to keep the snow clean I guess.


Here's what Snowplanet says:

Your first visit

Please bear in mind that it is -5º Celsius inside the snowdome. Warm clothing and gloves are highly recommended for your own safety and wellbeing. We do rent out jackets and pants (limited stock only) and gloves and hats are available from the Snow Centre.

Just a little whisper:

There will be a instructor amongst us if anyone needs any tips on skiing....

[Qkchk]

I heard he's expensive. Somehthing about being a TV celebrity now.

Yeah better be careful that it doesnt all go to his head.............:weird:

[Nicksta]

cool... i'll come along.. dont know if i'll ski yet.... do we have to prebook? or can we just rock up on the day?

[Nicksta]

make that 2.....

[Keystone19]

I'll be in the South Island that day unfortunately otherwise I would have been in and that would have made 3 instructors...:Punk: .

Mind you I'm only qualified to teach telemark skiing so dunno if I'd actually be any use to you lot...s'pose I could have picked up the pieces if ya fell off...

[Qkchk]

cool... i'll come along.. dont know if i'll ski yet.... do we have to prebook? or can we just rock up on the day?

Someone mentioned to me earlier that it may benefit us if we did a group booking. But I'm not going to do that. Why? Because (as other people have found out before organising these kind of things) some people say they will come then don't and other just turn up without putting their name forward first, so it very difficult to get numbers of people attending. However I am sure that the deal they are advertising on the site (which I have posted on this thread) for the 4 hours for $39 is a bloody good deal.

To answer your question Nicksta, just rock on up! No need for pre-booking.

If some of you want to start skiing/boarding a bit earlier, thats fine we will see you in the restaurant around 6.30 onwards. The system they have there is a swipe in/out. As soon as you go out of the ski area your time stops so you can go and have dinner/drinks/bathroom stops/smoke etc...

[Qkchk]

So who's goin Boarding and who's goin Skiing? :Punk:

[tide]

I'll be skiing... :Punk: really bad, so all will have a good laugh...:yes:

[gixermike]

Me and the girlfreind will be boarding....

Its a good night for it! Crappy wet/windy weather outside -4 degrees and lovely inside.

(Inside the snow area that is - As if the Restaruant/Bar would be that cold, no one would drink any beer....)

We are still getting ready - ya'all know what granddad is like....... prob see you guys around the 7pm mark.

[Toaster]

Bugger.... arrived 6:30pm... waited half an hour and left. Didn't see any familiar faces and no-one there I spoke to were bikers, so thought maybe no-one was turning up for the dinner thing. Reading the above, I gather now that everyone was coming late.... double bugger. Gutted. Hope you had a great time guys and gals. Maybe I will be less impatient in future.
