About NZSki
NZSki operates three ski areas situated in the Southern Alps of the South Island - Coronet Peak, Mt Hutt and The Remarkables.
NZSki is locally owned by Trojan Holdings Limited and is part of a wider business with a strong record of sustainable tourism development with operations also encompassing Aoraki / Mt Cook and the Milford and Routeburn tracks.
Development of commercial ski activities started in the Southern Lakes in 1947 with the construction of a tow rope at Coronet Peak so locals could head up and enjoy the new winter activity of skiing.
In the late 1960s it was decided a second ski area in Queenstown was needed to cope with demand and by 1985 The Remarkables Ski Area was opened. There were various owners before local Queenstown family, the Davies, purchased NZSki from Air New Zealand in 2002.
Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are located in Queenstown, New Zealand’s premier four-season alpine resort destination. Mt Hutt is situated in Methven, 75 minutes from Christchurch and is the leading ski area in the Canterbury region.
The Remarkables Trade & Media Kit
The Remarkables is located in the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown, New Zealand. The Remarkables is a welcoming, adventurous ski area boasting three sun-drenched bowls and up to seven terrain parks.
