If you’re someone who is at home in the mountains – and can imagine making them your office – Tai Poutini Polytechnic’s Ski Patrol programme is for you.
Over the last 20 years, TPP’s Ski Patrol programme has produced some of the country’s finest ski patrollers. You’ll do your practical ski patrol training in Wanaka, one of New Zealand’s best ski destinations. Wanaka offers some of the most advanced skiing and riding terrain, including natural pipes, large open faces, terrain parks and great back county ski touring. Avalanche and first aid training is offered in a realistic working environment and includes practical experience and that will teach you how to become ski patrol certified in line with industry needs. The graduates are sought after by the global ski patrol industry and many have gone on to work overseas in Canada and Japan.
