ABOUT US Officially New Zealand’s Best Ski Resort for the sixth year in a row*, Mt Hutt is New Zealand’s big friendly mountain with some of the most consistent snowfall in the country delivering a long, white season. At an altitude of 2086m with a 683 vertical drop Mt Hutt boasts the South Island’s highest chairlift, leg-burning runs and some of the country’s most spectacular views. As well as genuine Kiwi hospitality guests can enjoy wide groomed slopes, all-lift access for all abilities, top to bottom terrain parks and some of the best off-piste skiing around. Mt Hutt in Canterbury has 365 ha of skiable terrain and state of the art snowmaking to top up the slopes. Mt Hutt has a goal is to offset their carbon footprint to YOUR MOUNTAIN IS CALLING zero. To achieve this, substantial investment has been put into upgrading equipment and waste management initiatives across the mountain as well as native planting. Another goal is to bring back the Kea and in winter 2020 this was achieved. The first kea in three years visited the mountain for a few days in September which thrilled the team and guests. Mt Hutt hopes to encourage more native birds back to the mountain by creating a habitable environment for them through pest eradication and native planting. *Mt Hutt has been named New Zealand’s Best Ski Resort at the World Ski Awards every year since 2015
