Mount Dobson, where the sun shines all day, is one of NZ's best kept secrets.  It features pristine snow, wide open groomed runs and views to take your breath away.  With the Triple Chair opening access to the West Valley, it offers some of the best skiing and boarding for all grades.  NZ's largest learner/intermediate area provides a great start for those just beginning, and the t-bar and chair access runs and off piste areas for the more advanced skier. The natural half-pipe under the triple chair is a favourite with boarders, and the terrain park has just been upgraded.

Mt Dobson is renown for dry powder, friendly atmosphere and the highest base facilities in NZ. To make it easy for beginners, Mt Dobson has the "Easy Pack" - a package deal that includes equipment, lift pass and a lesson with our highly qualified instructors, at an amazingly low rate. 

Enjoying the fine weather!
