Overall 2.7 Based on 3 votes and 3 reviews
A family friendly field, with a little effort required to get skiing (walk of 20min,10 min to good lift). Sealed road all the way to car park. Lots of snowboarders - in fact they tend to outnumber skiers in this surfer dominated province. Cheapest skiing in NZ - full lift pass is NZ$35! No frills skiing. Some exhilarating lines on "top-tow" when it is operating. Public Day Lodge and new Club Lodge for SMC Club members. Club Lodge is, however, open to the public as well for accommodation on mountain (sleeps 30) - you need to book.
