Nestled inside the eastern rim of the Southern Alps is Mt Hutt ski area, which boasts some of the deepest, lightest, driest powder in Australasia.

Overlooking the spectacular vista of the Canterbury Plains, skiers and boarders from all around the world flock to Mt Hutt to revel in the longest season in the Southern Hemisphere. Boasting varied terrain, a recent upgrade of base facilities and snowmaking, and the addition of a new mini terrain park for beginners and novices, Mt Hutt now offers some of the best facilities and terrain mix available in the South Island.

Powerhounds just won't believe their luck either. 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, with a purpose built beginners area and a specially designed children's centre.

Located just a 40-minute drive from Methven, Mt Hutt is renowed for its laidback atmosphere and diverse terrain, meaning all levels of skier and boarder can have an awesome winter experience here!
