North Island

North Island - The North Island is dominated by volcanic-slope skiing and most people head to Mount Ruapehu, which is one of three massive volcanoes that make up Tongariro National Park.

Whakapapa and Turoa are Mt Ruapehu’s two main ski fields and together they make up NZ’s largest ski area. Mt Taranaki in the Egmont National Park also offers volcano-slope skiing.

South Island - Most of the skiing in New Zealand is on the South Island and the majority of international skiers head to the towns of Queenstown and Wanaka. The major ski resorts in this area are Coronet Peak, Cardrona, Treble Cone and The Remarkables. Also nearby is the southern hemisphere's first specialised freestyle resort, Snow Park. Further north on the South Island, and certainly not to be overlooked, are Mount Hutt and Porters, both situated in the Canterbury region. The Nelson Lakes National Park also offers skiing opportunities and the Canterbury region has plenty of smaller club fields too which are accessible to the public.

Whether you're a complete beginner hitting the slopes for the first time or an experienced boarder looking for big air, check out some of what New Zealand has to offer on the following pages ...
