The NZSIA FUNdamentals is a national framework and educational resource for children’s skiing and snowboarding in New Zealand.

The progressions of the children are based on NZSIA/SBINZ teaching concepts. There are six levels for the children to progress through which develop balance, movement and performance skills in a variety of terrain and situations around the mountain.

The NZSIA FUNdamentals program supports kids from first turns to advanced skills, building their confidence with the tools and knowledge they need on the snow.

Level Up on the Slopes with FUNdamentals

The FUNdamentals provides resources to parents and children to help prepare and inspire them for their time on the snow.

FUNdamentals in its most simple form promotes better, safer skiing and riding with the aim of keeping children engaged in snow sports. It’s a nationwide programme promoting consistency of information through all the snow sport schools who are participating.

Children participating in lessons utilising the FUNdamentals receive a card indicating their level of achievement. The card can be used at any participating snow sports school to help identify their level and record their progress.
