2011 Mount Hutt Winter Holidays
The Southern Alps of New Zealand’s South Island provide the perfect alpine terrain for ski and board thrillseekers and learners alike. Close to The South Island's gateway city, Christchurch, is the ski and snowboard playground of Mount Hutt,
At the base of Mount Hutt is the alpine village of Methven, abuzz during the winter as skiers and boarders from around the world converge. Methven is just one hour's drive from Christchurch and most of the year enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. However during the ski season Methven transforms into a bustling ski town when thousands of visitors from around the world arrive to ski and snowboard at Mt Hutt.

Renowned for its long season of reliable snow, Mount Hutt is often the first skifield to open and the last to close for the season. New Zealand skiing at it's very best. At the top of the lift-accessed 2086m Mt Hutt's breathtaking views stretch the Canterbury Plains all the way from the Pacific Ocean to the Aoraki Mt Cook. With 472 skiable hectares of diverse terrain, Mt Hutt is relaxed, friendly, challenging and exciting.
