Kiwi Ski

Kiwiski is part of the Kiwisport programme started by the Hillary Commission in 1988.

The Kiwiski programme helps Primary and Intermediate school students come to terms with having 'long feet' before they take to the snow with their classmates as part of a school trip.

• A trailer equiped with a class set of skis and boots is taken out to schools for the students to try.   
• Teacher training, and assistance with delivering the programme is available on request. 
• The programme is free of charge to participating schools.

A Teachers Resource Guide is available, also free of charge, for all Primary and Intermediate schools to have; this gives exercises for the students to do prior to their trip, along with helpful hints on how to be safe in the mountains plus tips on how to get the very best out of their snow experience.

There are two trailers operating in the Canterbury region and two on the North Island, in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
