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: The roads crew are out gritting the top section of the road heavily to see us remove the chain call. However ALL vehicles should carry chains and the drivers know how to fit them. Drive with care, there are still decent icy patches under the grit and in shady corners.

Snow (last 7 days): 14cm Season total: 68cm
Off-Piste: A mix of scoured areas and fresh powder

Snow Comment: Our epic Terrain Park Crew have been putting in the mahi and are ready to open the Large Jump Line. This is dependent on the weather and snow conditions throughout the day though. A massive welcome to our Wahine Sunrise Skin team as well. Have a great morning.
Weather Conditions:
Winter is continuing to do it's thing here at Kawarau Maunga - The Remarkables.
Yesterdays incredible snowfall really improved the skiing and riding conditions on and off trail. Groomers are fresh this morning and there is still plenty of fresh snow for those freedom finders looking to get off the beaten track.
We expect winds to pick up from midday onwards which may effect chairlift operations.
New terrain update! We now have Homeward and Scarpa Bowl open, with the Homeward shuttle operating 10am - 3pm. Please exercise caution as many unmarked hazards exist off trail.
Carpool priority today - see below for more details.
