Something for everyone

New Zealand, with our reverse season to the Northern Hemisphere, is well recognised as an international ski destination. With a diverse range of options from commercial, Nordic cross-country, club fields and heli-skiing, visitors to New Zealand find the variety staggering, the terrain spectacular, and the queues comparatively short.

Whether up north on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, or down south around Queenstown, Wanaka or Mount Hutt, New Zealand can offer some of the finest ski terrain in the world.

Most ski fields also offer awesome, fast terrain for snowboarding, excellent natural and man-made half pipes, dedicated terrain parks, and some of the most awesome off-piste powder snow around. Add a dash of sunshine, and you're in heaven.

Those looking for a more extreme and unique experience can’t go past heliskiing - the combined thrill of flying by helicopter above and around the grandeur of the Southern Alps, and then skiing/snowboarding superb runs free from crowds. But don’t forget to look around at the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.

At Aoraki/Mount Cook you can take a flight up the amazing Tasman Glacier, then make your own way down the stunning 10km run between the towering peaks and ice falls of New Zealand's highest alpine region.
