Hutt delivers the full mountain experience.

    Nearing the end of our sixth season at Mt Hutt and getting ready to early bird our passes for next season. We've made use of the instructors and lifts as our snowboarding family has grown and Mt Hutt has been brilliant. Friendly, courteous staff with consistently the best snow in Canterbury and sometimes the country. Not the cheapest, but its an alpine resort and still affordable for most families.
