The best ski field in New Zealand to learn to ski or snowboard

As Wanaka locals, we have tried and personally learnt to ski at a range of fields in the South Island.

Our top pick as the best ski field in New Zealand to learn to ski or snowboard is Cardrona Alpine Resort.

Cardrona, located midway between Queenstown and Wanaka, is consistently upgrading its facilities to ensure its ski field is world class. Notably, they offer a ‘Chondola.’ This is a lift which has alternate gondola cabins and traditional ski lift chairs, ideal for beginners. The gondola cabins provide an easy walk-on, walk-off experience (no need to worry about falling over). In addition, these provide the extra comfort of keeping you warm while you catch your breath and take in the scenery before your next run. Cardrona also offers the only ‘covered’ learners conveyor belt. This transports you to the top of the learners’ slope on a gliding magic carpet while keeping you away from the elements. To add to these comforts, Cardrona offers excellent ski and snowboard instructors to ensure your skiing or snowboarding improves quickly.
