New Zealand - Ski

A winter holiday in New Zealand offers breathtaking scenery, one of the longest ski seasons and an affordable holiday for all. The South Island’s premier ski resorts offer varied terrain, great facilities and fun for family and friends.

A winter ski holiday is awesome fun and in New Zealand there is something for everyone, from the most avid skier and rider to the beginner.

New Zealand

Mountain conditions and weather

A winter holiday in New Zealand offers beautiful scenery, fantastic facilities and an affordable holiday for all. Direct flights from Australia’s east coast into Queenstown Airport mean you can arrive and be on the snow-laden slopes literally within the hour. Alternatively, you can fly via Christchurch International Airport or Auckland International Airport and link with domestic flights into Queenstown.

All ski resorts provide comprehensive reports each morning by 7am. You can check these out either via the respective websites/apps or phone numbers, listening to the local radio, or asking the reception desk at your accommodation.

2016 Operating Dates The operating dates have been provided by the ski fields but are subject to weather conditions and should only be used as a general guide. Coronet Peak: 11 Jun - 9 Oct 16 The Remarkables: 18 Jun - 25 Sep 16 Cardrona: 11 Jun - 9 Oct 16 Treble Cone: 23 Jun - 2 Oct 16

Some tips to consider • Make sure you have adequate insurance to cover your time on the slopes. Most travel insurance policies have particular coverage requirements and may have cover exclusions for activities such as skiing. • Safe skiing and boarding has a lot to do with consideration for others and observing the snow code. If you’re a novice, take a lesson first; know and respect your limitations and ability. • Stick to marked trails and never ski alone. If you intend to ski off-piste, make sure conditions are clear and let someone know of your plans. Remember that a sunny day can turn to whiteout in an instant.

• Whether you own your own gear or rent it, make sure boots and bindings are professionally set and adjusted, and check them before each day of skiing. • Wear warm, layered clothing, including gloves and a hat, and avoid loose straps or buckles that can get in the way. Carry food and water if you’re venturing off-piste. Winter sun can be very harsh: wear protective sunglasses or goggles and a high UV factor sunscreen. NOTE: Whilst we take every care to ensure that the information in this brochure is correct at time of printing, we urge you to check details of your selected holiday with your travel consultant prior to booking. You should inquire about local issues and conditions at destinations prior to travel. Viva! Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. Travel advice can be obtained from various sources including local governments, local consular offices and the website of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: www. smartraveller.gov.au
