- Overview
The local ski area for Nelson and Blenheim (upper South Island). One T-bar plus learner lifts. Small and friendly, rarely crowded.
Can be quite different in snowfall patterns to the southern resorts (so if snow no good down south, check the Rainbow snow report, it could be worth the trip).
