Mike Yardley: Mid-Canterbury Winter Magic Mike Yardley: Mid-Canterbury Winter Magic Tue, 29 Jun 2021, 2:57PM Ready for a cool change, snow bunnies? Just over 90 minute’s drive from Christchurch, Mt. Hutt is calling! Showcasing the very best of the South Island’s high country, Mt. Hutt has scooped the title of New Zealand’s best ski resort for six years running. With five ski lifts that cater from beginners to advanced skiers, it’s an all-embracing ski resort, also boasting the longest vertical chairlift access of any mountain in the country. If you are a first-timer to hitting the slopes, Mt. Hutt is the perfect destination. With one of the longest ski seasons in New Zealand, if not the Southern Hemisphere, it’s reliability as a ski field is priceless, running from early June through to mid-October. The road to the ski field is an appetising adventure in itself, 12km of steep, loose metal roads along many winding ridgelines. If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can easily catch a shuttle from Methven. The sheer size of the facilities is impressive and spacious, from the huge foyer, to the ski shop, café and bars. The jovial staff at Mount Hutt are particularly outgoing and super helpful in ensuring you get yourself fully equipped with the right gear.
