Alpine Skiing, New Zealand
New Zealand has a range of skifields across the country. The North Island of New Zealand fields can be found centrally on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand and there is one field located in the North Island on Mount Egmont in Taranaki, New Zealand.
In the South Island, New Zealand the fields are located all along the Southern Alps, the mountain range that runs downwards along the centre of the island. The Rainbow skifields is the northern most field. The next field is Mount Lyford and then Amuri is located not far from the popular resort of Hanmer Springs where you can relax after your skiing/snowboarding in the hot pools.
From there we go to the more intense areas with a number of skifields through the Arthur’s Pass region in the centre of the South Island on the main route from Christchurch through to the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. In this area there are a series of club fields where clubs run the operation of the field as opposed to businesses. Close to Christchurch is the field that is renowned for some of the most reliable snow conditions in the country, the commercial Mount Hutt ski field with a season running from May through to late October in the average year. This field hosts a number of International events. From there all the way down there are skifields scattered through the mountains, too many fields to list here offering a range of different terrain and facilities.
Around Lake Tekapo is the Round Hill ski field an excellent field for beginners. Lake Ohau hosts the Ohau ski field popular with snowboarders.
Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand offers ski flights taking you up to ski the Tasman Glacier for something a little different and you will find heli-skiing and riding all along the Southern Alps.
Around Wanaka the two well known fields are Treble Cone and Cardrona. Queenstown has the Remarkables field and the more established Coronet Peak ski field is close nearby the Queenstown township.
In New Zealand you will find plenty of alpine skiing...
