Begin your journey exploring Christchurch's Antarctic connections before driving through the golden Canterbury Plains to Methven, home to the award-winning Mt Hutt Ski Area. After exhilarating days conquering fresh powder on wide, uncrowded runs, sink into the blissful warmth of Opuke Thermal Pools as snowcapped peaks frame the horizon.

Continue to the legendary Mackenzie region, where your lakefront accommodation offers breathtaking views of Lake Tekapo's impossible turquoise waters. Here, the mighty peaks of Aoraki/Mt Cook – New Zealand's highest mountain – create a dramatic backdrop for the bucket-list Ski the Tasman glacier experience.

Your adventure culminates in Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand, where you'll tackle the legendary slopes of Coronet Peak and The Remarkables by day, and enjoy the buzzing après-ski scene by night. With your own vehicle and multi-day lift pass, you're free to chase the perfect powder at your own pace through New Zealand's most spectacular alpine playground.
