NZSki Has Done It Again! 2017 Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt Season Passes Released at 2016 Prices

Following the success of its 2016 season, NZSki has announced it will leave its season pass pricing unchanged for the 2017 season, starting with the $599 earlybird 3 Peak Pass and $299 Mt Hutt super earlybird prices released this week (Thursday 27 October).

The 2017 3 Peak Pass offers skiers and snowboarders unlimited access to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables in Queenstown, and Mt Hutt in Methven near Christchurch during the 2017 season, running from mid-June to early October. It includes school holidays as well as night skiing at Coronet Peak which runs on Friday and Saturday nights from mid July through to September. There are no blackout dates!

NZSki CEO Paul Anderson says the 2017 passes represent great value and are likely to attract newcomers and locals back to the slopes.

“The customer and industry feedback to our 2016 season passes was fantastic, so we thought 'let's do it again'” he says.

“For us it's about sharing our passion for the snow with locals, families and visitors.

“There's nothing better than seeing lots of smiling faces having a blast on our ski areas!”

Paul says that as well as attracting more locals, the season pass pricing encouraged visitors to Queenstown – in particular Aucklanders and Australians – to purchase season passes and give skiing or boarding a go.

“We had an excellent take up which brought newcomers to the sport through our Intro to Snow packages. We reckon they'll be hooked and will be back for more thanks to our earlybird offer.”

The popular Intro to Snow NZSki four-day lesson package available at all three mountains has not changed either.

“We also look forward to welcoming back repeat pass holders who have been stoked about the earlybird pass release.”
