I've done this course: http://www.templebasin.co.nz/htmls/9-day-multi.html
We were a group of 6 people who got organized together in Sydney. It was really good. The course was tailored to us and the instructor (John Corcoran) very knowledgable. He had a lot of experience.
He was also very flexible, we had poor weather so we decided to suspend the course for a few days. He was ok with that and got back home during that time. We just had to pay for his petrol... which is really nice!
The accomodation was excellent, pretty remote (you have to walk for 45' to get there, your gear takes the dodgy lift up). There's a great view, rooms are small but comfy and the group had a room to practice knots, pulleys and even a few anchors for doing things on ropes.
We didn't have time to ski much, but that was included in the price. The lifts are nutcrackers so one of the best part of skiing was watching one of my mates swearing at the lift while he tried to get on with a snowboard.
Hope you find the right course for you!
