Nestled high in the Southern Alps, Canterbury's Mt Hutt ski area receives some of the deepest, lightest and driest powder in Australasia. It is the highest ski area in the Southern Hemisphere and has the most consistent snow and the largest season of the major commercial ski areas in New Zealands Ski Fields.

Following a large investment last year into lift and trail infrastructure, Mt Hutt’s Summit Six, six seater chairlift offers access to many trails while a novice area is serviced by a dedicated quad chair. A 140m long Magic Carpet into the beginners area means that Mt Hutt has some of the best facilities in the country alongside the best mix of terrain.

Mt Hutt offers 365 skiable hectares and offers plenty of variety and every facility for snow sports enthusiasts. Close to Christchurch city Mt Hutt is big mountain with great terrain and offers an awesome, winter experience for all levels of skiers and riders with the ski season usually starting in early June and closing towards the end of October, always almost with plenty of snow on the slopes.

A daily shuttle transfers skiers and boarders to the mountain making it more appealing with a fun atmosphere to travelers allowing them to unwind and not have to worry about the little things.
