New Zealand ski fields map
This article lists 25 New Zealand ski fields on a map, so that they can be easily located on the North Island or the South Island. It also provides links to the various New Zealand ski fields web sites.
There are 25 ski and snowboard areas in New Zealand, 18 of which are commercially operated skifields. The rest are mainly run by non-profit ski clubs.
Of the commercial ski areas, only a few offer on-hill accommodation, which means that for most of them, nearby towns and resorts provide bed and après ski entertainment.
Whakapa on the north-eastern slopes of Mount Ruapehu is New Zealand’s largest and busiest ski area.
Turoa, on the opposite side of Mount Ruapehu gets plenty of dry snow from July to September and has the biggest vertical drop of any ski resort in Australasia.
And the Snow Farm accessible from the Cardrona Valley between Wanaka and Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand is the country’s only commercial cross-country ski area.
For the approximate opening times of New Zealand ski fields, refer to the When do New Zealand ski fields open? article.
