Snowed In

Some of New Zealand’s top ski spots are reviewed by worldwide online ski site On the Snow, including “the quirky ski field that is home to Burton’s The Stash, a natural terrain run with eco obstacles.” “Cardrona is 320ha and is one of the very few resorts in New Zealand where you can stay on mountain … Mt Hutt is served by the small town of Methven. This is the best ski and snowboard mountain in New Zealand on a good day. It gets more snow than the resorts down near Queenstown, has 360ha of skiable terrain and another 150 of inbound backcountry and a fantastic transition between the levels. The North Island boasts the country’s largest ski areas, of Whakapapa and Turoa, together that’s about 1050ha of skiable terrain.”
