Chill Out Lounge

Looking for a ski and snowboard adventure? You’ve come to the right place. Crisp sunny days, frosty nights and reliable snowfall make for powder that’ll have skiers and boarders licking their lips. And less people means more chance for powder hounds (and bears) to get their fix! A southern hemisphere setting means the snow is falling when Europe and America are out of action. And NZ’s climate is unique: even when there’s snow on the mountains everything is lush and green below.

Anyone can ski NZ. There are great places for learning, while die-hard ski bunnies are in for the ultimate treat – NZ is a Mecca for those who take things to the edge! You’ll find terrain parks, cross-country skiing and the option of getting off-piste. Heli-skiing offers long deep-powder runs, dramatic descents and glaciers. Imagine the thrill of skiing untouched powder in some of the most incredible scenery on the planet!

Ski and snowboard NZ! With so much on offer, there’s nowhere else like it. Where else could you ski from June to November? Where else could you enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with top-class facilities? Brown Bear reckons you’ve got to try it to believe it!

North Island The three main ski areas in the North Island are located on one awe-inspiring volcanic mountain, Mt Ruapehu.

South Island From isolated club fields to the beautifully groomed slopes of world-class resorts, the South Island has it all.
