Your week will be made up of four days of schooling (Monday - Thursday) and training with the HPC Race, Freeski or Snowboard programmes from Friday to Sunday.
If your skiing or snowboarding is not yet of an advanced standard, you can still experience living, and going to school, in the beautiful mountain town of Wanaka and take advantage of Mount Aspiring College's Outdoor Pursuits Programme.
