Kids Fashion

We have a great range of "littlies" clothing. We stock sizes for children from 2/3 years upwards. Poivre Blanc specialises in offering 'adult stuff' in kids sizes, as does SOS and Cross- just a couple of our favourites!

We also have snowboots for rent @ $15 per pair per day - excellent for kids playing about in the snow, especially if you also want to rent one of our toboggans for a bit of family fun! Our retail store also sells kids harnesses and "Edgie-Wedgies" which we recommend for kids around the 3 years old mark who are learning to ski or just need a bit of help keeping their pizza pointed in the front!

Kids Rental & Family Discounts

We rent and retail equipment for children aged 3/4 years and older. We also offer families a discount of 15% on the cost of their rental equipment (minimum 1 adult and 1 child which is applied to your rental account when you come into the shop for your custom fitting).

Kids Equipment Buy Back Scheme - now here's a good idea.......

If you purchase childrens skis and/or boots from us, we offer to buy the equipment back from you at up to 40% of its original value (depending on condition) when the kids grow and you purchase their next set of equipment from us. Talk to the retail shop team for more information.

Kids Equipment Packages

We try to make things as easy and cost effective for you as we can, so we have put together some packages (limited availability) of Fischer skis and bindings. The packages come in two lengths so that they are suitable for children of different ages and sizes. Talk to Haggis in the Queenstown retail store for more information and availability.

Kids on the Mountain - some important tips for families.....

Generally children 6 years and younger do not require a lift pass. General Children's Ski School lessons do not need to be pre-booked. However for children younger than the minimum age i.e. generally 5 yrs and younger, it is a good idea to pre-book as places are strictly limited.

CHILDRENS SKI SCHOOL

QUEENSTOWN FIELDS - for kids aged 6 to 16 years. For snowboard the minimum age is 8 years. Group lessons do not need to be pre-booked. HOWEVER, VERY IMPORTANT - if you want to enrole 2 to 5 year olds in Skiwiland Creche, you should make a booking in advance as places are strictly limited. You can phone 03 442 4626 or email either school@coronetpeak.co.nz or 03 442 4928 school@theremarkables.co.nz
