Skiing in the Land of the Long White Cloud

The indigenous Maori people of New Zealand used to refer to New Zealand as Aotearoa, or ‘The land of the long white cloud’. This name has obvious connotations that imply the serene beauty and stunning landscapes that the Maori people must have been swept away by when they first arrived in this beautiful country. New Zealand has a geography that is naturally suited for many types of outdoor activities and sports. New Zealand mountains have been seen in many major movies around the world but what is less known about them is that they also offer some amazing ski slopes. The ski slope facilities in New Zealand include, but are not limited to:

• Coronet Peak

• Ohau

• Treble Cone

• Mt Dobson

• Ohau

• The Remarkables and Cardrona

• Mt Hutt

• Roundhill

• Whakapapa

• Turoa

New Zealand’s ski areas are all amazing and offer a one-of-a-kind ski experience. Many of the mountains in this country are still expanding. You may find that a slope that you remember from a given year may actually look different as the look and layout of the slope changes as the mountain expands. All of the ski resorts in New Zealand offer world class facilities and lodging. There are also many other activities that you can enjoy that include fine dining as well as a night out in any one of the high energy bars or clubs that the ski resort has to offer.

If you are someone that wants to come and experience New Zealand in it’s totality, you may want to consider staying for a longer period of time. This will truly enable you to see and do everything that New Zealand has to offer. In this scenario, you should consider getting the type of accommodation that is relevant to your needs and requirements.
