A great resort for beginners, intermediates and experts. It would be even better if the T-bar was replaced with a chair lift to spread people out on the mountain! The only other down side is the steps up to the snow from the base building. It is difficult for children to carry skis up and down stairs.

Glad that NZ Ski has put in a lot of snowmaking machines, pretty much wouldn't have had a season without them. Fingers crossed for next year. Have had some unusual lift closures this year, the local word is it is due to lack of staff and lack of training, ie. starting lifts without de-icing first! Way too expensive for what you get. A tiny field compared to overseas, generally poor snow but can be good for a few hours after a dump. Staff generally friendly this season. Food way too dear and they closed the café side early this year due to lack of people/staff. Probably won't buy a seasons pass this year. Will just pick the good days.

For many years I have been skiing at Coronet Peak and for many years have been visiting Heidi's Hut.
This year I am appalled at the shocking service from the staff. A 45 minute wait for two coffees and the following day a 30 minute wait for two coffees ( we thought we would give them a second chance).
Coronet Peak have had our season pass money for many months therefore they should have been able to train their staff months ago.
I have spoken to many regular skiers this week and they are all of the same opinion.
Coronet Peak management need to smarten up their act when it comes to their staff and service.

Another reviewer's problem with the staff ethics is (as in most situations like this) is a result of Coronet Peak managements own unwavering handling of any unusual cases. The hard line. They will keep a moving carpet lift running when all other lifts are closed due to windy conditions, then refuse to refund you because a "lift is still running". This short shortsightedness is endemic to Coronet Peak, and filters down through the ranks. Shame. The mountain itself has many varied runs and it is possible to ski from the top of any lift to the bottom of any lift which means no double queuing. If there are queues. Apart from the busiest days there is normally no more that 5 minutes wait for the very fast lifts. Shame about the shocking management.

The place was awesome! But I'd like to comment about the work ethics of the staff whom we dealt with at the front counter. We were there close to 11 am and we asked for the best deal for our group. Resort staff didn't suggest for us to get the half day pass (our group was able to go out to the snow close to 12noon since there were long queues. 2nd we weren't told that we would have to queue again if we wanted an upgrade to the next level so we bought it right there and then to avoid wasting time (I learnt after that we could have done this in the self service kiosks when needed). So we ended up paying for lift upgrades and not using them because of lack of time. So disappointed!

Great place! It may not have the snow quality of the US, Europe or Japan but Coronet Peak definitely isn't put to shame. Great base with decent food, good coffee and good staff.
Good instructors, especially for kids. Good beginner areas. Good, modern, quick lifts. And the best thing, no crowds (did go out of holiday times so probably need to consider this). Never, ever waited for a lift. And managed to go straight from top to bottom, fast, on some pretty good runs without having to dodge a bunch of gapers!
Would recommend it completely but drop expectations if you've travelled to the above-mentioned places. For Australasia, this is an excellent resort!

What a fantastic part of the world !!! Absolutely blown away by the surroundings, the services, the friendliness of all of the staff and more importantly the quality of the slopes.
Coronet Peak is a great place for all age groups and families along with the uber enthusiast and smart arse professionals.
Snowboarded most of the trails last week with a solid packed base and fresh powder on top. As a beginner to the sport, who could ask for better? And the icing on the cake - had blue skies and bright sunshine. Coronet Peak is a place to come back to in my book. See ya next year NZ.....

The lifts at Coronet Peak are not slower than lifts in other parts of the world. Greengates Express and Coronet Express, (hence the name express) are both detachable express lifts. The lifts at Remarkables, yes they are, because they are not detachable express lifts. These are the other resorts that I have skied around the world and the lifts run at pretty much the same pace, Heavenly, Kirkwood, Alpine Meadows USA. Whistler, Grouse, Big White, Revelstoke, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Sunshine, Panorama, in Canada. I'm pretty sure that at none of those resorts all of their lifts were high speed detachable express lifts, now that Coronet spent 5 million bucks replacing their meadows learners chair all of the chairs at Coronet are high speed detachable expresses. In the last 5 years probably about 50million dollars has been invested back into Coronet Peak. This season they introduced the rdf ticket system which is the most high tech ticket system in the world.
