Mount Hutt Ski Area
|
Nestled high inside the eastern
rim of the Southern Alps is Mt Hutt Ski Area, which receives some of the
deepest, lightest, driest powder in Australasia. Overlooking the spectacular
vista of the sprawling patchwork quilt of the Canterbury Plains with the
blue Pacific Ocean in the far distance, skiers and snowboarders from all
around the world can revel in the longest season in the Southern Hemisphere. |

Being in the heart of the Southern Alps is a truly awesome experience. It
has its practical advantages for beginners and experts alike. Powderhounds
just won't believe their luck. With plenty of adrenaline-pumping Black
Diamond runs on the South Face, extreme skiers and boarders will have as
many different challenges as they can handle. The wide open terrain is great
for first-time skiers and families too. Mt Hutt's new specially designed
Children's Centre, Ski and Snowboard School and purpose built beginners area
will definitely teach you a thing or two. Snowmaking starts early May,
ensuring great snow for the whole season. All this is just one hour's drive
from cosmopolitan Christchurch and a stone's throw from the friendly country
town of Methven, Mt Hutt's village. |
