About & Description

A special, affordable, grass roots ski experience where the focus is on who you're with, where you are and not how hot your gear is.

The Hanmer Springs Ski Area offers NZ grassroots skiing at its best! The fun, super affordable and relaxed culture of the club run mountain sets it worlds apart from the slick, corporate options of today. The ski field is ideal for both beginner to advanced skiers and snowboarders and the self cater, cosyday lodge, deck AND awesome on mountain accommodation, make it great mountain experience for your whole group. From the base area we have a tailor made groomed learners area to get you started, with a fixed grip learners tow and our instructors are on hand for group and private lessons. The Shirtfront rope tow accesses groomed intermediate and off piste runs and provides a great access point for the large Bordeaux Basin which in 2017 can be skied via traverse, hike and touring.
