New Zealand Ski Resorts & Ski Fields
New Zealand offers many skiing and snowboarding options, with numerous Ski Resorts dotted around the country. Premier commercial ski areas in locations such as Queenstown, Wanaka, the Mackenzie region and Methven all project their own distinct character and personality. You'll find world-class facilities, including sophisticated snowmaking systems, state-of-the-art snow grooming and comprehensive base building generally with a range of dining options.
The smaller, club fields are often run by a group of enthusiasts and have simple facilities such as rope tow or T-bar lifts, generally no snow grooming, but good day lodges and often a more social atmosphere.
