Snowboard Shredding

Snow boarding is the other option to skiing and a lot of fun! Some people can pick up snowboarding faster than skiing because its familiarity to other sports. Snowboarders wear a pari of boots that strap into bindings fixed on the board. Everyone should give snowboarding a go, even seasoned skiers if they get the chance. To move around on a flat surface or ride the lifts boarders unstrap their back foot to push on the snow. 

    Skiers and Snowboarders need a lift pass so they can

    ride the various lifts around the resort. Chairlifts, T-bars

    and Pomas are the types of lifts we have to get you

    around the mountain. Lift Passes can attach to your ski 

    jacket or pants so it can be easily seen by our lift

    attendants.           

    First timers to Selwyn should take a look at our Trail Map.

    This map shows you the various ski runs and lifts at our 

    resort as well as how difficult each trail is. If you work 

    your way up from green (easy) to Black (difficult) you can

    ski the entire mountain! Printed maps are available to grab

    from the Ski Hire Centre and the Selwyn Centre.

Progressive Terrain

We always say Selwyn is the best place to learn how to ski and snowboard because if you check out our trail map, you’ll see we have progressing terrain. The first slope everyone skis from is a green (easy), blue runs (Intermediate) can then be accessed and across the other side of the valley are our black runs (difficult). Selwyn is not daunting for first time skiers as they cannot mistakingly jump on a lift and end up at the top of a trail they cannot ski down.  

Get A Lesson

Although our progressive terrain helps, nothing will get you skiing or snowboarding faster than a lesson with one of our qualified instructors. We highly recommend lessons to all first timers so we can get them out skiing the slopes and having a great time ASAP.
