About The Remarkables
The Remarkables is New Zealand's most dramatically situated ski area, its jagged, glacier-carved ridgeline rising directly above Lake Wakatipu and the resort town of Queenstown to form one of skiing's great backdrops. Located just 45 minutes from Queenstown Airport, it offers 60km of groomed piste spread across three natural bowls — Alta, Sugarpot, and Central — with terrain that ranges from gentle beginner slopes at the base to steep, exposed ridgeline runs and a dedicated snowpark that attracts serious freestyle riders. The Southern Alps snowpack is denser and wetter than the powder of Japan or North America, but reliable season snowfalls combined with modern snowmaking maintain consistent coverage from late June through early October. For US travelers, The Remarkables combines world-class skiing with Queenstown's extraordinary adventure tourism infrastructure — bungee jumping, jet boats, and Fiordland day trips — making it the natural anchor of a New Zealand ski holiday.
