Instructors are great but I advice you to just wear one jacket if you plan to try snow boarding or skiing. The sun rays is pretty intense and I will also suggest putting some sun screen or balaclavas. I prefer the subtle vibe of mount Hutt than this place. It's too crowded when we went there. Maybe because it's our field trip. Also, the slopes are too slippery and steep that falling will be a natural. Overall we enjoy our visit cause we played blocks of snow on the corner of the ski area. Beginners, like me, is not adviced to try the intermediate section. You'll just hurt yourself.

Great place to go the boy loved it and it was a good day to go. Very relaxing day. Great view too.
We went up there on Wednesday 15 July and had a wonderfully awesome day! There was a very light dusting of snow on and off during the day, but the skiing was great fun! Private lessons (VERY good value for money) from the lovely, friendly and helpful Nate - a sweet Canadian (is there any other kind?). Staff running the beginners lifts were awesome as well, very friendly and energetic throughout the day and had a very ready smile. Very much recommended to come here for a visit - the drive is easy, lift passes reasonably priced and the staff make for a very very excellent day! Please pass on my thanks to the whole team for what was a very memorable trip!
Our family just loves this field. So close to Christchurch, such a short and safe access road and terrain is off the charts when there's freshies. Even weekends are pretty chilled, staff are great. Go mid week, straight after a fresh snow dump for an experience you'll remember forever.
Great ski area close to chch .great long powder runs
Good facilities, can have great seasons and not so great , but snowmaking has improved, so generally worth a few days skiing.
Less crowded than My Hutt but only one chairlift. Doesn't get the snow coverage they used to. Having said that... I think it will be my regular ski destination for next season. It's just less hassle.
Best ski field we've seen so far. Not as crowded as most ski fields, actually good cafe and an amazing view all the way through the tracks absolutely breathtaking view from the top of it
