Merry Xmas %%first name%%,
Christmas is fast approaching and while ours will be sunny and bright, our Northern Hemisphere friends are looking forward to a Magical White Christmas.
If you've never experienced a White Christmas before, but have always dreamt of one, we highly recommend you start thinking about it for next year.
It’s your choice, escape the Christmas madness and pressure and choose a spirited festive season with a White Christmas full of festive events including traditional carolers, Santa on skis or even a traditional sleigh, ice skating, Christmas snow sport activities and parties, après-ski festivities, tree lighting ceremonies, fireworks and so much more.
Imagine the excitement when you present your family with a magical White Christmas Ski Holiday for 2010. Join up for a White Christmas in 2010 with our Early Bird Club 2010-11 and be the first to know when we come out with next year's best deals.
Don't Dream it Plan it
 I'm dreaming of a White Christmas,
Wonderful ski slopes full of snow.
With skiers shouting
And children laughing
As we ski back to the lifts below.
I'm dreaming of a long blue cruiser
And perhaps a black run or three.
With snow ghosts glistening
And the blue sky shining
As down the mountain we all ski
I'm dreaming of a snow filled village
All lit with fairy lights
May your days be snowy and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
If you are dreaming of a White Christmas, then join our White Christmas Early Bird Club 2010-11 and be the first to know when the specials are out next season.

When you hear Ben Wiggins on the radio saying “best service, best value and a passion for what we do” you could ask yourself “what is that all about?”
A visit to TCB Ski and Board in the main town center of Ohakune will be sure to convince you that they have something going on in there! While this will only be their 4th year in business, TCB has garnered an enviable reputation with both locals and visitors as a fun place to visit, with exceptional customer service and professional advice on all their specialist brands.
It’s not just a one man band either, Austin Hodson and James Foubister have a huge amount of industry experience in boot fitting, ski and snowboard selection and they both have the same passion as Ben for customer service.
Another specialist area is the TCB BOOT-LAB which has been fitted up with the very latest in boot technology equipment to enhance the fit for any snowboard or ski boot. Ben, Austin and James have are the real experts here and the many “happy” feet that walk away from TCB every year bare testimony to their expertise.
Renting Ski and Board equipment can sometimes turn anyone into an ogre! Not at TCB Ski and Board, they really do go out of their way to make sure you have the right fit and the right equipment.
Of course when it comes to having your own skis or board tuned, the TCB professional service continues. While robot machines are great for mass tuning rental skis and boards, Ben knows that personal tuning with their precision Montana equipment is the only real option for TCB customers.
TCB is open EVERY DAY from March until November, why don’t you try the TCB Ski and Board experience and see for yourself.
