The Neon PomPom Guide to a Great New Zealand Ski Holiday.
A great ski trip is the best thing about winter. It makes that cold period between June and October
all worthwhile. You leave work and the depressing city winter behind, heading off to the mountains
where the air is clear and the spirits high, to sample some of the magic that can only be obtained by
sliding down a snowy slope on a pair of skis or board.
If you’re anything like us, the annual ski trip is one of the highlights, if not THE highlight, of the year.
But it’s about more than just skiing or boarding – a great ski trip depends on a number of key
components all working in harmony. Chief among these is people – the ski trip is something you
share with your mates, your family, with other skiers and boarders. This Guide is designed to help
you get the best out of your New Zealand ski trip by making sure everyone has a great time.
This guide will help you make these decisions so you can have your own great New Zealand ski trip
by showing you:

Note: Where we use the term ‘ski’ we also mean
snowboarders. No offence intended - we love both
codes. It’s just easier to write about skiing instead
of ‘skiing and boarding’ all the time. Hope that’s ok
with you guys.
Plan things well and everyone will love you for it.
What Makes a Great Ski Holiday?
We can tell you from experience (lots of it) that a great
ski trip depends on a combination of factors; some of
which you can influence, some of which you can’t.
Here are the factors that you CAN influence:
Who you ski with
Where you ski
When you go
Where you stay
How much you spend
How you get there
What you take
What you eat
What you do when you’re not skiing
How much hard work you have to do to
organise it all
And here are the factors you CAN’T influence (unless
you’re God):
How much snow there is
How good the snow is
The weather
Unforseen events (i.e. Sh*t Happens)
Other people and the dumb things they are
capable of
So, if we assume that the effects of factors we can’t
influence can be mitigated by those we can, it’s pretty
obvious that great ski trips depend on the decisions you
make before you depart, based on what’s most
important to the success of the trip.
Sometimes it all just falls into place...
A Bit About Skiing & Boarding in New Zealand.
If you weren’t already aware, New Zealand is a skier and boarder’s Mecca. The South Island’s
Southern Alps have more mountains than the European Alps, whilst the North Island harbours some
pretty impressive volcanoes that tower over 9,000 feet. In short, that’s a lot of skiable terrain. Unlike
Europe, or the US however, NZ is pretty young and raw in terms of development. We have a number
of resorts that in terms of facilities and terrain might be considered world-class, but they lack the
sheer size of some of the mega-resorts found offshore. This is because the snowline generally starts
well up the mountain in NZ, so the opportunity to build a sprawling ski-in, ski-out base village is
pretty limited - anyway, with a population of just over 4 million, we don’t really have the numbers
to support such developments.
The upshot of all this is that while there is plenty of groomed snow out there, New Zealand holds a
vast amount of first-class skiing and boarding terrain that is pretty much as nature intended it to be
– and much of it is quite accessible with the right gear, approach and attitude.
Weather and Climate
New Zealand is a maritime country – as small island nation surrounded by a whole lot of sea – and
this means that the weather can change – often, rapidly and with marked effect on the skiing. What
this means is twofold:
- You may have to consider the fact that some days just won’t be skiable, at all…
- And the frequent storms mean we get a lot of fresh snow throughout the season - great for
those who enjoy frequent fresh tracks.
As far as overall temperatures go, New Zealand winters aren’t that cold when compared to Canada
or Northern Europe, but when you throw high alpine sub-climates into the mix, only a fool would
come unprepared. So bring the right gear for proper cold winter conditions and you’ll be right.
The Season
Funnily enough, the New Zealand ski / board season depends on one thing – snow. In a good year,
some resorts can open as early as mid-May, and close in late October. Within that period, each
month has its own positives, depending on what you’re after.
May
A few high,-altitude, long-season resorts like Mt Hutt often open in May – great for those who just
can’t get enough of the snow or can only manage to get leave from work then. Some early-bird
rates for accommodation and lift passes are available too. There can be marginal snow cover and
thus a bit of a lottery for international travellers.
June
When the NZ ski season usually kicks off in the big resorts. Crisp, short days with clear, frosty
weather. Early season dumps can happen and are well worth being here for. Early season deals are
still available in some places, not too many crowds on the big resorts, although skiable terrain can
be a little limited. Great if you value space and freedom from the masses over deep snow cover.
Opposite page: NZ has world -class terrain for those who want to go and get it.
July
Things well and truly going across the country in a good year. Smaller resorts and club fields usually
open by now. NZ and Australian school holidays happen in the first half of July, which is great for
parents and something you may wish to consider if you don’t want to be skittled by a runaway 7-
year old on the learners’ slopes of the big resorts. Mid-winter conditions – cold, crisp days, good
quality snow, magic.
August
Arguably, the snow aficionado’s favourite month. Big snow base, slightly longer days (meaning
more time on the snow), mid-winter conditions moving into early spring, frequent powder dumps,
settled weather. Can get fairly busy on the big resorts around the weekends because of the
generally excellent conditions – this is when most Kiwis without kids tend to make their annual
pilgrimage to the snow.
September
A personal favourite of the Neon Pom-
Pom crew. Days are longer and sunlight
stronger, however overnight temps are
still sufficiently low to ensure great snow
quality. Storms continue to deliver great
new snow conditions, meaning you get
that magic mix of spring weather with
winter snow…it’s hard to beat. The spring
school holidays for NZ and Australia
arrive in the latter third of the month.
October
Spring conditions prevail and they’re great – think skiing in a t-shirt, lots of sun, warm air, spring
corn snow, hiking, touring, surfing (if you’re tough and have a good wetsuit). October is a real
opportunist’s month and those who choose to ignore the fact that winter is on the way out are
often rewarded with some amazing times long after the crowds have left to tend the daffodils.
The NZ Club Fields: Skiing the way it should be.
Places to Ski
Skiing comes in all shapes and sizes in New Zealand – and one size does not necessarily fit all. You
can pretty much classify New Zealand skiing into five different categories:
The Large Commercial Resorts - with modern
facilities, high-capacity lift systems, snowmaking:
Mt Hutt (Methven, Canterbury)
Coronet Peak (Queenstown, Otago)
The Remarkables (Queenstown, Otago)
Cardrona (Wanaka, Otago)
Treble Cone (Wanaka, Otago)
Snow Park (Wanaka, Otago)
Whakapapa (Mt Ruapehu, Central North Island)
Turoa (Mt Ruapehu, Central North Island)
The Smaller, ‘Boutique’ Commercial Fields - with
more basic facilities and a family friendly approach:
Ohau (South Canterbury)
Roundhill (Lake Tekapo, South Canterbury)
Mt Dobson (South Canterbury)
Mt Cheeseman (North Canterbury)
Porters (North Canterbury)
Mt Lyford (Hanmer Springs, North Canterbury)
The Club Fields - non-profit, run by ski clubs, basic
facilities, low skier density, ‘backcountry’ feel:
Mt Olympus (North Canterbury)
Broken River (North Canterbury)
Craigieburn (North Canterbury)
Temple Basin (North Canterbury / West Coast)
Hanmer Springs (North Canterbury)
NZ Commercial Resorts: Fast lifts and big terrain.
Heli & Cat-skiing Operations – catering to those with
a penchant for powder and the backcountry.
Alpine Heliski (Queenstown, Otago)
Harris Mountains Heliski (Queenstown, Otago)
Helipark (Mid-Canterbury)
Southern Lakes Heliski (Queenstown, Otago)
Wilderness Heliskiing (Mt Cook National Park)
Methven Heliski (Methven, Canterbury)
Mt Hutt Helicopters (Methven, Canterbury)
Ski The Tasman (Mt Cook National Park)
Queenstown Snowcats (Queenstown, Otago)
Alpure Peaks (South Canterbury)
Welcome to some of the world’s best heliskiing, at the most accessible prices.
Places to Stay
As mentioned earlier, New Zealand doesn’t really do ski-in / ski-out accommodation in the ‘village-
at-the-base-of-the-mountain’ style available in North America and Europe (yet – the team at
Porters in Canterbury are working on that). Generally, skiers will stay in nearby towns – with the
exception being some ski clubs with private lodges either located on a commercial mountain (such
as those on Whakapapa) or the Canterbury Club Fields, which offer bunkroom-style lodge
accommodation right on the mountain.
Southern Lakes Region
The Southern Lakes Region, encompassing the resort towns of Queenstown and Wanaka, is New
Zealand’s equivalent of an Aspen, a Verbier, or a Whistler. It is a truly spectacular place with lots of
the following: mountains, lakes, ski resorts, tourists, skiers and boarders of all shapes, ages and
dispositions, places to eat, places to stay, places to drink, things to do, shopping, money, and
development. Served by an international airport, it’s definitely the place where the cool kids hang
out and if you have the disposable income, it is seriously hard to get bored here. The five main ski
resorts are large commercial operations and things can get pretty busy in peak season…unless
you’ve got the cash to partake in one of the excellent heliski or cat-skiing operations on offer.
South Canterbury & Tekapo
The area around and near Tekapo, about 2.5 hours drive
from Christchurch or Queenstown airports, is an up-and-
coming destination for skiing families looking for somewhere
a little quieter and perhaps more family friendly than the so-
cool-it-hurts Southern Lakes region. Located at the top of the
spectacular Mackenzie basin, the neat village of Tekapo is
close to the boutique resorts of Roundhill, Mt Dobson and a
bit further south, Ohau. Each offers a great mix of terrain,
facilities and friendliness at prices significantly easier to
swallow than their bigger Southern neighbours. Alpure Peaks
offers cat-skiing nearby for powderhounds. Plus, it is only a
short drive from Tekapo to the Mt Cook region, with true big
mountain heliskiing and the opportunity to ski the vast
Tasman glacier via skiplane…just awesome.
Tasman Glacier ski planes - awesome..
Methven & Mount Hutt
When combined with the adjacent Canterbury Club Fields (see below), this region offers arguably
the widest range of possibilities to the avid snow rider, at least as far as big mountains and skiable
terrain goes. The resort town of Methven nestles at the base of the main ski resort of the region, Mt
Hutt, a true high-country ski mecca known as ‘the capital of speed’ and for having the longest
season in the country. An hour’s drive from Christchurch airport, Methven is also an hour from
Helipark – New Zealand’s only patrolled heli-accessed terrain…meaning no limits on where to go
for the wild ones amongst us. Mt Hutt Helicopters offers the country’s only ski-resort based heliski
service (which has to be the world’s most accessible heliskiing) while Methven Heliski, with
exclusive access to the mighty Arrowsmiths, offers with New Zealand’s best heliski terrain.
The Canterbury Club Fields
With the city of Christchurch and it’s 400,000 inhabitants just over an hour away, it is no wonder
that the mountains in Canterbury harbour that most unique of New Zealand ski experiences – the
Club Fields. These places are a heady mix of wild, big-mountain terrain, rudimentary but effective
lift systems, cosy on-mountain huts and a pioneering breed of locals, known as ‘clubbies’ who keep
the places not only alive, but going from strength to strength as people discover the magic of the
back country. The six fields (if we include boutique commercial resort Porters) in the region west of
Christchurch offer skiers and boarders the chance to experience NZ ski culture as it was 50 years
ago…but with modern equipment, skills and attitudes. Words simply can’t do it justice.
Hanmer Springs Region
Tucked into an alpine basin 90 minutes north-west of Christchurch lies the picturesque thermal re-
sort town of Hanmer Springs. Like Tekapo, Hanmer is a family-friendly place with a couple of great
skiing options. The Hanmer Springs Ski Club is a friendly club field offering a great on-mountain
lodge and accessible terrain for beginners and intermediates, whilst not much further away in the
opposite direction lies the boutique family-orientated Mt Lyford resort complete with world class
terrain, killer views and its very own alpine log cabin village. With freshly revamped thermal hot
pools and spa facilities to soak away the day’s exertion, Hanmer is a winter escape with a whole lot
going for it.
Mt Ruapehu Region
Fancy skiing on a 9,000 foot active stratovolcano? Plenty do, and that is why the Central North
Island’s mighty Mt Ruapehu is home to New Zealand’s two largest ski areas. Roughly four hours
equidistant from Wellington or Auckland airports, the twin resorts of Whakapapa and Turoa offer
distinctly different experiences to skiers and boarders. Whakapapa is more about fast lifts, terrain
parks, cafes on the mountain and probably caters to a younger crowd, while Turoa is about varied
terrain, powder stashes and backcountry skiing. The towns of Ohakune, National Park and Turangi
provide nearby accommodation, whilst the resort town of Taupo is about an hour from the slopes.
All of this lies in the heart of a spectacular geothermal region on the edge of New Zealand’s biggest
lake steeped in Maori culture and history…a proper New Zealand winter holiday.
Skiing on a volcano, anyone?
7 Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make.
The 7 Mistakes listed below are for those of you who take on the often thankless task of organising
stuff. They also pertain specifically to skiing in New Zealand. They acknowledge the fact that our
climate, our mountains and our ski destinations are unique, with their own pros and cons. Some may
be applicable elsewhere, but if you’ve never skied in New Zealand, or wish to expand your horizons
here, then you’d do well to heed some of the advice below.
1. Going for the Cheap Deal
We’re all the same – no-one likes paying too much for something. But by the same token, people
around the world constantly rue their decision to go for a cheap deal. The pitfalls of a cheap deal can
manifest themselves in many ways… such as rubbish accommodation, a tinny rental vehicle, wrong
time of the year, awful flight times, and some others which will be apparent in the other mistakes
below. But always remember – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, so walk away.
2. Limiting your Options
The ability to make a daily choice on where you ski (or what you do when you’re not skiing) should
never be underrated. Limiting yourself to one ski area can be restrictive, especially if the conditions
aren’t ideal, the place crowded or non-skiing activities too few, too expensive or simply not available.
Cheap deals are notorious for this…you feel compelled to go back to the same place in order to get
‘value’, whether you want to go there or not…wistfully looking over your shoulder at those enjoying
the good stuff….those who gave themselves a choice.
3. Failing to think about Non-Skiing Days
As explained earlier in the Guide, inclement weather (especially that which brings the lovely powder
snow) is a fact of life when skiing in NZ. You should plan on one, maybe two days per week falling into
this category. And some days you may just not feel like hitting the slopes regardless of weather. So –
what are you going to do on those days if your accommodation is shared, all the restaurants are full,
and other activities are either booked or super-expensive? You’ll have to suck it up – make sure you
remind yourself of this when deciding on your next ski holiday.
4. Forgetting Group Dynamics
This is especially important if you’re travelling as many of us love to do – with good friends or family.
It is rare that all members of a group will be at the same level in their snow-riding ability, or rate of
progression – so any decision about where to go will need to be a ‘compromise by consensus’ (a
smartass way of saying everyone needs to be looked after to some degree). It goes hand in hand with
Limiting your Options – if you’re just restricted to a crowded commercial resort, the powderhounds in
your group will be hating it. Likewise, if skiing at an off-piste only club field is your lot for the week, the
beginners won’t thank you. Make sure you consider everyone’s needs and cater for them.
5. Taking the Wrong Gear
We see it all the time – someone gets sold a new pair of skis suited to a specific set of conditions (e.g.
the blue groomer at the local commercial resort) then finds them totally unsuitable for the conditions
they have to deal with on their holiday. What they should have done is wait until they get to their
destination and hire the right stuff for the conditions and their ability. The right ski shop or resort will
have experts who want you to get the maximum enjoyment out of your time on the hill, regardless of
the conditions. Also makes mucking around with airlines’ stingy baggage policies a non-issue.
6. Ignoring the Experts
Goes hand in hand with the Cheap Deal. If you’re serious about getting better, or expanding your
horizons on the mountain – then you should seriously consider hiring a guide or instructor. These
guys aren’t cheap (the good ones at least) and can take the edge off that sharp price. However, expert
assistance is important at all stages of the progression process – it’s obvious that a beginner will
benefit hugely from coaching, but equally important is the other end of the spectrum where you’re
pushing the boundaries of where and how you ski. Out there, the right technique, equipment and
guidance can literally be a matter of life and death…something you may want to think about.
7. Not thinking about Other People
This is not about asking you to consider the well being of other mountain users – although we’d
strongly advise that you do – but more about how other mountain users can affect you. Other people
can have a massive influence on the outcome of your ski trip – whether it’s the 100kg beginner wiping
you out on the crowded learner slope, the group of twenty-two year olds staying next door getting up
to all kinds of shenanigans your grandmother may not approve of, or the restaurant manager with the
indifferent attitude. If, like us, you subscribe to the adage that ‘the only person you can rely on is
yourself’ then we’d advise eliminating the ‘Other People’ variables wherever you can by going private.
11 Things You Need to Think About.
In the 7 Mistakes, we’ve tried to impart our best knowledge about what to avoid when booking a New
Zealand ski Holiday. Now it’s time to think about what you should consider. Here are 10 handy hints
that will make your ski holiday way better, guaranteed.
Think About When You Want to Go. If you are fixed to certain dates, such as school holidays, then
you may not have much choice on this one. But if you have flexibility with work and leave, you might
want to consider when the best time for you to hit the slopes will be. It’s a juggle between price,
crowds, snow and weather - and as we have explained above, each stage of the season has its pros
and cons. Work out what your priority is and plan around that.
Plan Your Leave. Get in nice and early when requesting leave for your ski trip – a good time to think
about when to you might want to go on a ski trip is when everyone else is thinking about sun, sand
and barbecues. Plus the boss or your staff will appreciate the advance warning and make it easier for
you to get away from the winter work scene.
Check Out the Skiing Options .Wherever you go, make sure you do some research on the skiing
options. Read independent reviews from skiers and boarders similar to yourself and decide if you’re
going to be overly limited, overly challenged or just happy at the resort of your choice. If there are a
number of options at your disposal, then you’ve got a better chance of everyone enjoying
themselves. Consider the needs of your entire group – the last thing you need is someone to be put
out or even worse, opt out of the trip altogether.
Check Out the Non-Skiing Options. We’ve already talked about bad weather options, but if some
people in your group aren’t that fussed about spending every day on the slopes, then what are they
going to do if everyone else has gone up the hill and taken the transport with them? Having some
handy activities that people in your group can enjoy is a good way to ensure you cover every
eventuality.
Ask the Locals. A lot can be gained by calling or emailing the local ski shop, tour organiser or guid-
ing company about the suitability of an area of resort for your groups’ needs. They’ll generally point
you in the right direction. A well-skied friend can do the same – just make sure the source is
reliable, trustworthy, and actually knows what they are talking about.
Buy What You Need. You don’t want to go out and buy expensive designer jackets and pants only to
have no money left for super-important items like boots and goggles. Having the right functional gear
can make or break your ski trip – ever suffered rental-boot foot pain? Likewise, there’s little point in
going for that 5-day all-lifts deal if you’re a beginner – you’ll be paying for stuff you don’t need, when
that money could go toward a valuable lesson instead.
Know the Real Cost. Before you opt for that too-good-to-be-true combination deal, make sure you
work out the real cost, both in terms of money and sanity. Is your accommodation adequate for your
group’s size? Is it handy to the stuff you want to do? Will your rental car actually get up the mountains
you want to ski? Is it insured to do so? Will the flight get in at 1am? What do you need to budget for
lunch and dinner each day? Are there self-catering and catered dining options handy? Do you have
flexibility to ski where the conditions are best? There are a lot of questions to ask, all worth asking.
Go Mid-Week. It’s a simple one – mid week means less people, more mountain to ski and more fresh
tracks to be made than during the weekends when all the locals swarm their favourite mountain.
Going for a few days as opposed to just a weekend also increases your chances of some quality snow
in the event of changeable weather, and lets you ‘warm into your work’.
Give Yourself Time. Skiing and boarding are preparation-intensive sports. You should get yourself in
shape prior to leaving, while it’s always a good idea to give yourself a day to get everything together,
check your gear and make sure you have all you need before departing for the snow. And it’s nice to
have a day in hand to rest up before you go back to work.
Check with Your Airline. Make sure the airline in that cheap deal isn’t going to sting you for carting
your ski gear over. Make sure they can actually take your skis, if you intend to bring your own. And
always carry critical stuff like your boots and helmet in the cabin if you can – that way, if they drop the
ball on the baggage handling, you won’t be forced to use nasty hire stuff or go without.
Insurance Boring, yes, but critical. In NZ, all accidents and related costs are covered by ACC (part of
our free healthcare) but this isn’t a replacement for travel insurance. You need to make sure you are
not only insured for skiing and / or boarding, but also the type of skiing you intend to do. For example,
some policies may cover in-bounds on-the-groom, but not off-piste. Others may cover off-piste but
not backcountry / heli. Then there are airlines losing bags, theft in the larger towns / resorts, gear
breakages etc…all headaches you don’t need when you should be concentrating on having fun.
4 Simple Steps for an Epic Ski Trip.
Right, now you know some mistakes to avoid making when planning your NZ ski trip, along with
some things you should give some solid thought to. This bit is about bringing all the above together
into a quick step-by-step process to ensure you have an epic ski trip. As trip organiser, investing
your time in admin and organisation is hard enough without being hassled by your friends for
overlooking certain ‘minor’ details.
Step 1: Write Down your Priorities
Actually grab a pen or keyboard and write down the elements most critical to a successful ski trip.
Do you require private accommodation? Is backcountry skiing important? Are you happy to self-
cater? Consider the needs of everyone in your group and use this list as a checklist for any ski resort,
accommodation provider or any other key component of the trip.
Step 2: Create a Shortlist of Options
You may already have a fair idea of where you might want to ski in NZ. This could be based on prior
experience, friend’s recommendations, your research or a ‘great deal’. Regardless, you should create
a shortlist of options, with some alternatives to your initial preference. Then check each place
against the priorities suggested in Step 1. In short – don’t jump to a hasty decision.
Step 3: Apply the 11 Things You Need to Think About
So you’ve decided on a few potential destinations. Now you need to work out with of the 10 Things
is relevant to your group and apply them. This way you’ll cover all the potential issues, or at least
identify any things you may need to take care of prior to departure. Don’t forget to check them off
against the 7 mistakes either. Your family or friends will thank you for it.
Step 4: Book It!
You’ve done the hard work, asked the hard questions and hopefully received the hard answers. So
now you can go ahead, book your flights, your accommodation, your ski passes, your rental gear,
your hire vehicle and all that other stuff – or alternatively, get someone to take care of all that for
you (if this sounds like you, then click here). Then you can sit back, relax and dream of the good
times to come.
