The Queenstown, New Zealand ski season runs from late June to early October. Queenstown has four unique mountain terrains to choose from – all a short drive from Queenstown’s town center. With just a simple glance below you’ll be able to compare the conditions at each and decide which is best for you on the day.
Road Comment: Take care and limit your speed. There is some grit on the upper sections that can roll a bit.
Snow Conditions:
Last Snow Fall: 8 June 2026 0cm
Snow Comment: We are looking forward to some cooler temperatures and even some snow in the forecast through the first part of the week, bring it on.
Weather Conditions:
The snow has been groomed up, it feels quite forgiving with a light spring surface. This may firm up as temperatures drop through the day.
We are open on the Learners slope for skiing, boarding and sledding. Please no BYO sleds as the lane is tested for our sleds only and capacity managed.
Sightseeing will operate on Coronet Express today subject to wind, offering moody views of the Southern Alps.
Road Comment: Our road is in an alpine environment which can change quickly. Drivers should carry chains and know how and when to fit them, and when to turn back. Following is a chain-fitting video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rKZ_86A4I&t=1s

Weather Conditions:
Unfortunately - despite our very best efforts, and making some progress with snowmaking over the last few days, Mother Nature is not quite ready for winter yet and our opening is delayed until Saturday 20th June.
It is a shame, and we're disappointed as our team are trained up and all ready and raring to go, but such is life in the mountains ...
We are hopeful for some snow and better snowmaking conditions next week to enable us to get the snow guns firing - fingers and toes crossed!!
