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. The road above skippers is icy this morning please take care and drive to the conditions. Chains to be carried.
Snow Conditions:
Last Snow Fall: 15 June 2026 3cm
Snow Comment: The snow guns are on and the mountain is quickly turning from brown to white! We are expecting a few cm's from the sky this evening and more cold temps for our snowmaking system. Keep doing those snow dances! It's going to be a beautiful day up here at The Peak!
Weather Conditions:
The snow gun are ON! Conditions on our carpets are firm today beginning to soften as the day progresses.
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 has limited capacity.
Sightseeing will operate on Coronet Express today, potentially subject to wind later this afternoon, offering incredible views of the Southern Alps with a fresh dusting of snow.
Road Comment: Due to accumulating snow, 2WD vehicles are currently not permitted on the access Road. All 4WD vehicles must fit chains at Chain Bay 6 before proceeding. Once snowfall eases and the road can be treated with grit, we expect to reopen access to 2WD vehicles by mid to late morning. Please note our road is in an alpine environment which can change quickly. All drivers should carry chains and know how to fit them (please see our chain-fitting video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rKZ_86A4I&t=1s).
Snow Conditions: Stay on trail
Last Snow Fall: 5 July 2026 18cm
