Remarkables Ski Field
About
The 2nd closest Ski field from Queenstown. Only 50 minutes drive by car (you may need chains) or take the bus. The road is sealed from town to the mountain turn off, then its 14km of unsealed mountain road. The Remarkables Ski Area is known for its alpine environment, relaxed atmosphere and sense of fun. Young snowboarders, freeskiers and families flock to the mountain’s varied trails, terrain parks and backcountry areas. Freestylers can go on the rampage in a brand new UP & GO Terrain Park in Sugar Bowl this year – twice the size of the existing terrain park. Novice freestylers can progress in the Fruju Beginner Park while not-so-serious visitors can forget the boards and enjoy the Ozone Tubing Park. Live music on the deck adds to the party atmosphere. Children aged 10 and younger ski free at The Remarkables Ski Area. Distances from
