Views from the top of Mt Hutt are breathtaking. On a clear day you can see all the way across the patch-worked Canterbury Plains out to the Pacific Ocean in one direction and into the heart of the Southern Alps in the other.
At 2,086 metres Mt Hutt has one of the largest vertical drops in the South Island and the greatest variety of terrain ranging from long, super wide groomed runs to double black diamond chutes. Regarded as New Zealand’s true high-country ski area, Mt Hutt has a laid back attitude and hospitality to match. There is a well developed trail network suited to all snow lovers from the total beginner through to the world’s top pro racers and riders.
The South Island is home to the magnificent Southern Alps, this wonderful mountain range dominates the landscape and is home to a host of ski fields, both commercial and club. Mt Hutt (Methven), Coronet Peak (Queenstown) and The Remarkables (Queenstown) are three of New Zealand’s premier Ski Areas in this region.
