Mt Olympus is the very soul of New Zealand freeride — a globally unique snowsports destination that demands an adventurous heart, and delivers an unforgettable experience. Discover an alternate alpine reality for mountain lovers, hidden deep in the Southern Alps.
Mt Olympus is a remote, club-run ski field with terrain to satisfy any skier or snowboarder. You can day trip from Christchurch, or stay for a ‘Ski Week’ in the on-mountain lodge: a full-immersion high-altitude experience that will redefine your concept of a holiday. Bounce between the ski hill, hot tub, and propping up the Far Canal Bar — with up to 52 of your (new) best mates.
The freeride terrain at Mt Olympus is a topographic nightmare summoned from shale and schist. Fortunately everything looks better covered by pow. And the snow? It’s just as variable as elsewhere in the country. Nobody knows what the next storm will bring — but when it’s on at Mt Olympus even Europeans are slightly impressed.
