New Zealand Ski Resorts & Ski Fields

New Zealand offers many skiing and snowboarding options, with numerous Ski Resorts placed around the country. Commercial New Zealand ski areas, such as The Remarkables or Coronet Peak, all have their own distinct character. Most offer world class facilities including snowmaking, state-of-the-art snow grooming, and comprehensive base and dining facilities.

The smaller, club fields  - like Temple Basin or Mt Cheeseman - 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.
