Fantastic ski instructors at Happy Valley, very patient with first time skiers
Whakapapa - Mt Ruapehu的点评
点评:It was the first time to the snow for our two pre-teens and they had a ball at Happy Valley. Shout out to their ski instructor who was absolutely fantastic. He very patiently coached them in the basics and encouraged them with fun games and challenges. They were both super happy at the end of the lesson as they were able to make it down the slope on their own without falling over once.
Observing the other beginner ski and snowboard lessons throughout the day, it was obvious the other instructors were just as patient and encouraging with their students. Definitely recommend Happy Valley as a place to learn to ski or snowboard.
We found the Whakapapa personnel to be friendly, polite and helpful. It was our first time to Whakapapa and we were quite disorganised, so many thanks to the Guest Services team for their prompt responses to my emails and their patience in helping us sort out lessons and passes on the day.
We ate at both Lorenz’s Bar & Cafe and Knoll Ridge Chalet, and while a bit exxy (unsurprising given the location), the food was good and the serving sizes reasonable. A visit to the snow does add up, so if you want to save money, bring a packed lunch and snacks. However, I do recommend splurging on a hot chocolate to sip on while enjoying the breathtaking view from Knoll Ridge Chalet. It’s the best way to end a day on the snow!
翻译:这是我们两个十几岁的孩子第一次滑雪,他们在欢乐谷玩得很开心。他们的滑雪教练非常棒,他非常耐心地指导他们基础知识,并用有趣的游戏和挑战来鼓励他们。课程结束时,他们都非常开心,因为他们能够自己滑下雪坡,一次都没有摔倒。
观察了当天其他滑雪和单板滑雪初学者课程,很明显其他教练对学生也同样耐心和鼓励。绝对推荐欢乐谷作为学习滑雪或单板滑雪的地方。
我们发现 Whakapapa 的工作人员友好、礼貌且乐于助人。这是我们第一次来 Whakapapa,我们当时安排得比较混乱,非常感谢客服团队及时回复我的电子邮件,并耐心地帮助我们安排当天的课程和通行证。
我们在Lorenz’s Bar & Cafe和Knoll Ridge Chalet餐厅都吃了饭,虽然有点儿夸张(考虑到地理位置,这也不足为奇),但食物不错,份量也合理。去雪场玩确实花费不菲,所以如果你想省钱,可以带上午餐和零食。不过,我还是建议你花点钱买一杯热巧克力,一边小酌,一边欣赏Knoll Ridge Chalet的壮丽景色。这才是结束一天雪上乐趣的最佳方式!
