Visitor Reviews of Mount Hutt

Andrew from NEW ZEALAND writes:

Mount Hutt, consistently talked about as being the best ski field in New Zealand. With three chair lifts, this mountain is made very accessible and has the best lift accessed back coutry New Zealand can offer. The new 6 seater chair lift has done wonders for this field, when the queues are large (very rare even in holidays) this chair can get rid of large queues in a matter of miniutes, taking you up 500m vertical in just 4 miniutes! The quad from the base area offers awesome intermediate skiing and the trip (below carpark) offers double black diamond skiing and enables you to ski the towers and South face, massive powder runs. This mountain has awesome snow, dry powder and perfect groomed slopes, bumps and steep terrain. Green run from the top gives beginners a huge 10 miniute ride! Combine these with fast efficeint lifts, cold temps and shelter from most winds, dry snow, grromed slopes, steep powder runs and a huge field and you have in my opinion the best mountin in New Zealand! Just a short 1hr 30min drive to the top of the mountain from the city of Christchurch makes it a very accessible field offering beautiful scenery, nothing beats the view from the top looking over the back from the top of the mountain where some of the Lord of the Rings was filmed! Go to Hutt, you wont be dissapointed!
