Tips on making the most out of your Queenstown winter ski holiday
Queenstown is a unique place that gets even better when winter comes around. Bars compete over making the best steaming mulled wine, restaurants refine their seasonal menus, events are happening all over town and skiers from all over the country get out on the big-mountain terrain of Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. Here are some hot tips to get the most out of your holiday in the ultimate New Zealand winter destination!
SKI MORE, SAVE MORE!
A day on the slopes just leaves you wanting more, especially when there are multiple mountains to explore. Luckily, you can ski the unique tracks and features of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak from just $99 per day. The more days you buy, the more you save!
RIP THE FRESH MORNING CORDUROY
Queenstown offers the longest ski days in New Zealand. Not only does Coronet Peak stay open longer than other ski resorts, it also opens before everyone else. A First Tracks Pass gets you riding some freshly groomed corduroy at Coronet Peak first thing in the morning. It's a great way to include some fresh mountain air and epic sunsets into your holiday morning routine!
SEIZE THE NIGHT
Winter days are short, but with Night Ski on Wednesdays, Fridays and select Saturdays, we make sure you enjoy some long ski days at Coronet Peak. Sunset is when we pump it up with outdoor fires, Queenstown's best DJ's and fresh tracks. Yes, you read it right... Not only early risers get the benefit of some fresh corduroy at Coronet Peak, the night owls with a Night Ski Pass do too!
FUN ON AND OFF THE MOUNTAIN
Winter in Queenstown is not all about the snow. With so many amazing bars, restaurants, shops and activities in town, you are spoiled for choice. Because we know flexibility is key, we are upgrading every One Day Lift Pass this season to a Queenstown Superpass.
A Superpass lets you ski Coronet Peak, The Remarkables or Mt Hutt, but gives you flexibility in case you end up wanting to take a day off from the snow. You can use your Superpass as credit for a fun off-mountain activity, some retail therapy or a tasty meal with our approved partners.
GET A SMOOTH, EASY RIDE UP
Make things easy for yourself this winter and hop on the Ski Bus. Our expert alpine drivers save you the trouble of finding a parking spot at the top of the mountain and drop you off right at the base building for just $15 return.
