Departs Christchurch - the ultimate New Zealand skiing holiday! You will ski or board 6 of the South’s best fields and have the chance to customise your tour further with discounted heli-ski options in Wanaka and Queenstown... or how about some bungy jumping, sky-diving or white-water rafting?

DAY 1: CHRISTCHURCH TO MT.HUTT
This morning we drive to Mt. Hutt, where we spend the day riding the slopes of New Zealand’s largest ski field.

Located high in the Southern Alps, Canterbury’s Mt. Hutt Ski Area receives some of the lightest and driest powder in Australasia. With 365 skiable hectares, Mt. Hutt offers plenty of variety and every facility for snow sports enthusiasts. A big mountain with great terrain, Mt. Hutt offers an awesome winter experience for all first timers and seasoned powder hounds.

There are plenty of adrenalin-pumping black diamond runs on the South Face, presenting extreme skiers and boarders with as many different challenges as they can handle. The wide, open trails provide easy learning for novice skiers and excellent terrain to build on your existing skills.

Conditions permitting, there is also backcountry skiing down North Peak with a helicopter pick-up that drops skiers back at the car park.

DAY 2: SKI OHAU
Today we take you to a well kept secret in New Zealand skiing circles, a remote ski field, which can be found midway between Christchurch and Queenstown.

Ohau caters for all abilities, with snow ratings of 20% beginner, 50% intermediate and 30% advanced. From the highest point of 1,925 metres there is a 400 metre vertical fall to the base via ‘The Boulevard’, which is a wonderful ride for beginners on a safe, groomed trail as wide as a highway. Intermediates can choose the zig-zag ‘Luge’, and experts can push the limits on the ‘High Traverse’ and the ‘Escalator’.

Ohau offers exquisite dry powder snow terrain and gets you off the tourist trial to experience the awesome range of ski fields available in the South Island of New Zealand.

DAY 3: SKI TREBLE CONE – WANAKA
Treble Cone has been reported as one of the most spectacular scenic resorts in the world, lying within the heart of the Southern Alps. It has amazing views across the beautiful lakeside town of Wanaka.

Treble Cone is the largest ski area in the South Island with plenty of exhilarating skiing and snowboarding terrain. Spread over three large basins, there are trails to suit all ages and abilities. A purpose-built area for learners, long groomed trails for beginner/intermediate skiers, numerous natural half pipes on the upper mountain and challenging advanced runs on ungroomed powder. Renowned for an abundance of dry powder, Treble Cone receives an average annual snowfall of 5.5 metres and has an average maximum snow depth of 3.25 metres.

Wanaka is without a doubt an après-ski haven, with a huge number of places to dine, drink and dance the night away.

DAY 4: SKI CARDRONA – WANAKA
Cardrona is a very popular commercial field renowned among skiers and boarders for inspiring terrain and dry natural snow. With 320 hectares of wide, undulating trails, open slopes, steep chutes and awesome terrain parks, there’s something here for all to enjoy.

With over 20 national and international skiing and snowboarding events held at Cardrona each year, we may make slight amendments to our tour itinerary if we feel any events would add value to your Haka Snow Safari experience!

DAY 5: SKI CORONET PEAK – QUEENSTOWN
With outstanding views over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, Coronet Peak is the oldest and most developed ski area in the South Island. Spread across a broad mountain, the field is wide and sunny with an astounding variety of runs, and the on-field facilities are some of the best around. Everything is designed to ensure you make the most of skiing and boarding.

Everyone can ski like a pro at Coronet Peak – there are dedicated slopes for first timers, long wide groomed trails and plenty of choice for more experienced skiers. Once you know the ropes, you’ll enjoy the vertical off the express quad, or exploring the rolling terrain with plenty of dips and drops for great variety. For boarders, Coronet Peak is a natural terrain park, full of endless hits and powder stashes! Exclusive night skiing is also available.

DAY 6: THE REMARKABLES – QUEENSTOWN
The Remarks (as it’s known to the locals) is set in a vast natural amphitheatre high in the rugged ranges at the eastern end of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu. Being so far up is a major plus, giving the ski field a long reliable season – and the North-facing aspect makes it a natural suntrap.

The highest ski field in Queenstown at 1,935 metres, the Remarks challenges skiers of all abilities, including one of the most memorable runs in New Zealand, the long fast sweep called Homeward Bound.

The Remarks is the best place to learn to ski, with a series of sheltered bowls all accessed by chair lifts. Nearly three quarters of the slopes are rated beginner to intermediate – but there’s still plenty of off-piste challenge if you’re inclined towards the extreme.

The Remarkables ski area boasts a new international standard Super Pipe for advanced level riders and skiers. The 150 metre long, 22 metre wide pipe is triple the size of the existing terrain park at the top of Sugar Bowl Basin. The expanded Xbox Terrain and Rail Park and other features, combined with the big mountain possibilities, make The Remarkables the logical choice for the freeriders out there.

DAY 7: QUEENSTOWN TO CHRISTCHURCH
There are two options open to you this morning. You can take a half day skiing at either The Remarkables or Coronet Peak with a standard lift pass or a morning’s heli-ski, or you can make the most of the numerous extreme activities that Queenstown has to offer (all at a discounted rate)!

The Nevis Bungy, Canyoning the deep fiords of 12 mile delta, the Canyon Swing, grade 4 and 5 white-water rafting are all on offer this morning. You can pre-book all of these activities.
