A 2017 Guide To All South Island New Zealand Ski Resorts

There's a chill in the air and a dusting of snow on the mountains here in Queenstown, which means one thing - WINTER IS COMING!

New Zealand ski resorts will start opening in June. That's next month people! So it's time to dig your skis and snowboards out from the back of the shed.

If you haven't already planned your winter getaway and are thinking of skiing or snowboarding in New Zealand's south island, here's a great infographic from NZ Ski Packages. It gives a snapshot of all of the ski resorts in the south island including lift pass prices and the number of lifts. 

Check out our skiing and snowboarding guides for Coronet Peak and The Remarkables for detailed information on ski resorts in Queenstown. If you're time poor, there are plenty of NZ skiing packages available which bundle together accommodation, ski lift passes, rental gear and flights if you need them. Alternatively, put together a DIY ski holiday! Our resources page is a great place to start.

And if you're not sure what to pack for your ski holiday, check out our packing list to see what's inside our snowboard bag!

So....where are you heading this winter? Let me know in the comments below!

Snowboarding And Skiing At The Remarkables, Queenstown, New Zealand

The first thing you notice about The Remarkables is the incredible vista. The rock faces, jutting mountains and bowls will get you amped before you've even parked the car! With the large, modern base building, two 6-seater express chair lifts and two covered conveyors, it's easy to see why The Remarkables is so popular.
