Mt Hutt

At 2086m Mt Hutt has one of the largest vertical drops in the South Island and the greatest variety of terrain ranging from long, super wide groomed runs to double black diamond chutes. Regarded as New Zealand's true high-country ski area, Mt Hutt has a laid back attitude and hospitality to match. There is a well developed trail network suited to all snow lovers from the total beginner through to the world's top pro racers and riders.

Mt Hutt is eyeing up an early opening this season - 9 June 2012 - which will make it one of the first to open in New Zealand. (Their sister ski area, Coronet Peak, is also planning a 9 June opening).

Transportation: 

There are great options for letting the professionals whisk you to the top of Mt Hutt.  There are transport services from Methven and Ashburton during the season.

Ski and Snowboard Lessons:

International ski and snowboard instructor experience abounds at Mt Hutt as committed experts come back year after year.  Skilled in all areas of instructing, they’ll have you gliding down the slopes in no time at all.  Or maybe you’re looking for an improvement to you already well developed technique.

Twice daily group lessons are fun and you get to meet others at the same level.   No matter your age or ability, lessons are tailored to suit.

Looking for some expert one-on-one instruction?  Private lessons provide focused tuition no matter what your level or challenges area.

Rental Equipment:

Everything you need is on the mountain. Mt Hutt uses the Head BYS ski fitting system, designed to reduce the amount of time taken to fit boots and skis allowing you maximum time on the slopes. Snowboards come with freestyle strap-in bindings and when you rent on the mountain if you want to swap, exchange, upgrade or find something’s not quite it can be taken care of on the spot. The on-mountain rental department also offers free overnight storage to all hirers.

Mt Hutt also offers a town rental service, meaning you can avoid the queues and get fitted with your skis or snowboards in Methven the night before. Visit the Mt Hutt Snow Centre between 7.15am - 11am and 2pm - 5.45pm 7days a week, get fitted with all your equipment and collect it the next day from the mountain. You can also purchase your lift passes and book lessons at this time too.
