The Queenstown, New Zealand ski season runs from late June to early October. Queenstown has four unique mountain terrains to choose from – all a short drive from Queenstown’s town center. With just a simple glance below you’ll be able to compare the conditions at each and decide which is best for you on the day.
Road Comment: Take care and limit your speed. The road above skippers is icy this morning please take care and drive to the conditions. Chains to be carried.
Snow Conditions:
Last Snow Fall: 15 June 2026 3cm
Snow Comment: The snow guns are on and the mountain is quickly turning from brown to white! We are expecting a few cm's from the sky this evening and more cold temps for our snowmaking system. Keep doing those snow dances! It's going to be a beautiful day up here at The Peak!
Weather Conditions:
The snow gun are ON! Conditions on our carpets are firm today beginning to soften as the day progresses.
We are open on the Learners slope for skiing, boarding and sledding. Please no BYO sleds as the lane is tested for our sleds only and has limited capacity.
Sightseeing will operate on Coronet Express today, potentially subject to wind later this afternoon, offering incredible views of the Southern Alps with a fresh dusting of snow.
Road Comment: Our road is in an alpine environment which can change quickly. Drivers should carry chains and know how and when to fit them - and when to turn back (please see our chain-fitting video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rKZ_86A4I&t=1s). If you are coming up for a visit or a walk please park in Carpark 1.

Weather Conditions:
Unfortunately the weather has not been kind, and we have had to further delay our opening. The forecast is for better weather ahead which should provide good snowmaking conditions, and there is snow forecast Wednesday-Thursday. We will update on Tuesday afternoon, hopefully with an expected opening.
Rest assured we'll be doing everything we can to make snow and be ready to open as soon as we can - we're keen to get winter underway and to have everyone up here to share and enjoy the mountain with us!
For guests with lessons or ski bus transport booked over the next three days, the good news is that you're welcome to reschedule your group or private lesson/s and/or Queenstown Ski Bus reservation to Coronet Peak or another date, based on availability.
