Welcome to your gateway for New Zealand’s premier ski resorts and ski regions so you can gather early information for your 2012 winter ski holiday to New Zealand.
The ski areas of South Island are already well advanced with their plans for this season. The South Island ski areas are revered for their long season and awesome snow. Typically the South Island ski areas are the first in Australasia to open.
This year is no exception with both Mt Hutt and Coronet Peak aiming to be open from 9th June 2012. All other ski resorts are planning on opening during June.
It is often not until early October (or sometimes the end of September) before the ski areas close. In 2011 Mt Hutt didn't close until 16th October! Why not plan your ski and snowboard holiday in September?
Check out all the 2012 planning opening and closing dates here or historical dates here.
Without doubt, the scenery is spectacular and you can't beat New Zealand for the diversity of off-mountain activity and après action which all add variety to your New Zealand winter ski holiday. It has never been easier to reach New Zealand with heaps of flights across the Tasman, offering great value, plus the exchange rate gives you about 30% more in New Zealand dollars.
Surrounded by spectacular lakes and mountain, Queenstown and Lake Wanaka are vibrant ski resort towns, each with their own personality and offerings to suit all winter holiday makers. It is no wonder that skiers and snowboarders flock from all over the world to these energetic alpine towns, enjoying their premier ski areas of Coronet Peak, Cardrona Alpine Resort, The Remarkables and Treble Cone, specialist ski areas of Snow Park NZ and Snow Farm, lively après ski culture and abundance of off-piste activities.
Complete with an abundance of the South Island’s famous hospitality, you’re guaranteed a fun-filled ski and snowboard holiday.
Christchurch is the gateway to the Canterbury region and the South Island. In the surrounding Canterbury Plains awaits the alpine village of Methven, nestled at the bottom of Mt Hutt ski area. Continue south, hugging the spectacular Southern Alps and soon the vast open wilderness of the Mackenzie region reveals itself and serves up the three boutique ski areas of Mt Dobson, Roundhill and Ohau.
