Accomodation Options

Mt Hutt sits high on the eastern rim of New Zealand’s awesome Southern Alps. With a stunning backdrop of range after range of snow clad peaks and staggering views across the patchwork quilt of the Canterbury Plains to the Pacific Ocean, Mt Hutt captures the essence of the New Zealand experience.

Mt Hutt is arguably the best ski field in the southern hemisphere, because of it’s light dry powder which makes it a playground for skiers and snowboarders alike, in conjunction with it’s long season and reliable snow coverage backed up by modern snow making facilities, giving the mountain a season from the beginning of June to the end of October.

Mt Hutt Village – Methven and district offers a host of other activities and a wide range of accommodation:

Beech Hill Luxury Country Stay …an unforgettable warm and friendly luxury country stay / bed & breakfast

Kids & Family Skiing

kids-skiingDress warmly in layers plus sunscreen!

Kids who rollerblade (with pads + helmets) become better skiers!

Taking Children Skiing?
One of the beauties of skiing is that it involves the whole family. Family skiing lessons are available with Neil Parker.

Mt Hutt. Mt Hutt leads the way in NZ with our Children’s Centre.

Skiwiland Creche- Children aged 3 months to 5 years old
This features activity based child care by qualified staff in a licensed facility.
Parents are able to enjoy their time on snow while their young children are being cared for safely.

Children’s Ski Time 5 to 15
Your children are old enough to enjoy an alpine experience and you can enjoy your winter holiday secure in the knowledge that they are in best of care, starting on an adventure that could last a lifetime. They get to explore the mountain and shortly go faster than you. I recommend either half day or full day personal training for your children. Let’s have fun and keep safe while we get better at this game- skis or snow blades. We can even join Mum and Dad for a few runs and a bit of family time. Please ask to ski with Neil Parker.

Kids 10 & under ski for free!

What to Bring

What to take skiingThis list is what I personally recommend to take on a skiing holiday / vacation.

It is based on over 30 years experience with guests enjoying their winter snow vacation. Holiday at Mt Hutt New Zealand and ski with Neil, instructor for 30 years.

Wool hat – fleece lined.
Sunglasses.
Goggles – double lens (for snowy / windy days). Ski jacket.
Ski pants.
Sweater or fleece (best to dress in layers).
Turtle necks – 1 a day.
Neck gaiter.
Warm ski gloves or mittens.
(Mittens are much warmer.)
Long underwear – 2 to 3 pairs.
Ski socks (thin wool-blend) – 3 pairs.
Sunblock SPF 15+.
Chap stick/ lip balm SPF 15.
Waterproof street boots/ shoes.
Bathing suits – limited sizes sold locally.
(For the spa)

Apreski /Evenings. Casual clothes, jeans are accepted everywhere. Evenings can be much colder, so bring a warm coat.

Methven which services Mt Hutt has a range of restaurants/ bars/ cafes/ take-aways to cater for all needs.

Park City and Deer Valley boast over 100 restaurants etc. with a special service supplying excellent take away food to your house or condo. Deer Valley consistently wins the awards for Best On Mountain Food, Best Grooming and Best Guest Service in North America. Hot tubs or pools are standard at most lodgings. Bring a bathing suit.

Ski equipment, clothes and accessories can be purchased or hired locally. If something doesn’t suit (e.g. uncomfortable boots; inappropriate skis / clothing), it is usually much easier to deal with a local ski shop. In this way the situation may be resolved and skiing resumed! At Deer Valley my personal recommendation is the Deer Valley Rental.

Looking for florists in Christchurch go to. NZ Flowerbiz florist 64 3 326 7038 is a Florist and Flower Shop in Christchurch city offering Same-day Delivery to Christchurch and surrounding suburbs.

Christchurch is rebuilding.
