Mount Hutt is the largest ski area on the South Island of New Zealand. It is good for intermediates with some beginner and advanced runs. There is good access to vast off piste areas.
Mount Hutt is located half an hours drive from Methven, which is where most people stay since there is no accommodation on the mountain. Christchurch is around 1.5 hours drive away.
The snow season is from May to October/November.
