Ski Regions

 

New Zealand is a great destination for skiers and snowboarders! The seasons occur in reverse of the Northern Hemisphere, with the ski season generally running from June to October; a good snow base and warmer temperatures make spring skiing a big draw. There are commercial and club fields offering downhill skiing and snowboarding, cross-country skiing and terrain parks. Larger fields offer dedicated areas for learners, while extreme skiers and snowboarders will enjoy heli skiing in remote locations. Renting or purchasing quality equipment is easy in cities and ski resorts. Most ski areas also rent gear on site. If you are heading out to the slopes, it’s best to check conditions before you leave.
