Ski Patrol
Turn your love of the ski slopes into a job with the best view in the world. Tai Poutini Polytechnic’s Wanaka-based Ski Patrol programme will get you started.
Over the last 20 years, we’ve produced some of the country’s finest ski patrollers who go on to work in top ski resorts here and around the world. Trained in some of the most advanced skiing and riding terrain, including natural pipes, large open faces, terrain parks and back county, you’ll be ready to make a difference for people in the field.
Our sought-after graduates are trained in avalanche, first aid, teamwork and leadership in extreme environments under practical conditions.
TPP would like to thank RAB and Black Crows for their support.
