Should I get a package learn to ski deal with accommodation ect..or will it be cheaper in NZ once I'm there?

My girlfriend and I are coming over to Queenstown in the second week in July (11th) . We want to learn to ski or snowboard for a week (maybe less). We were wondering what is the best value for money? Is it worth booking a 7 day package now, including accommodation, lessons, gear hire etc or just turning up and sorting everything once there? any help would be great we both have never skied before and would like to get the best value possible. Oh it doesnt have to be just Queenstown we are flexible. Cheers

I would recommend going for a package deal as it sounds like your first trip.
You could spend a lot of time running around looking for accommodation etc, if you are not familiar, and at the height of the season that could be problematic.

Check the link below to learn more about Queenstown.
Welcome to New Zealand.

I don't know if you're booking early enough, but usually bookers will offer great deals on packages and you will have the whole trip worked out and not have to worry about any details. The only discount tickets I know of can be purchased from ski equipment rental places and are a great value (like 1/3) the price, but may be for only certain days. If no one on here knows, you need to google skiing + wherever you are going. Last time I went skiing begginer lessons were free for a group lesson.

I would suggest this site; If you cant find it on there site; Request a quote.
