FAQs
When should I make a booking?
Our spots fill up fast and we operate on a first come first serve basis, we recommend contacting us in November/December to secure your preferred dates and mountains.
How can I check the weather before my trip?
As we are situated in an alpine environment our weather can change very rapidly. You can check our Snow Report which is updated daily at 6.30am on the website. This is the most up to date source that provides information on mountain status and the forecast for the day.
How long does it take to travel to the The Remarkables
The Remarkables ski area is located a 45 minute drive (24km) from Queenstown and a 30 minute drive (16.5km) from Frankton.
However, please allow plenty of time for alpine conditions and to get from the car park to the base building and through Guest Services, Rentals etc.
Once your booking is confirmed our team will let you know what time you need to be at the mountain.
Accompanying adults for School Groups?
For every 10 students we offer:
- One supervising adult free of charge (Lift Pass & Equipment Rental).
- One supervising adult at the Student rate (Lift Pass & Equipment Rental).
What information will you require about my group before we arrive?
We will ask you to compile and send us a key information sheet for all of your students. This enables us to pre-load all of your passes prior to your arrival.
What should we wear on the day?
Make sure you wrap up warm! Plenty of layers mean you’ll keep warm when it’s cold and are able to cool down when it’s hot.
Make sure you bring eye protection, sun screen (yes, even in mid-winter!), hat, gloves and one pair of thick socks will do. Too many pairs of socks and your ski or snowboard boots can become very uncomfortable.
Please note that we do not rent goggles, gloves or face coverings due to hygiene reasons.
What should we have for lunch?
We offer freshly made lunches from our restaurants ready for your group to collect between 11.00‐11.30am daily at an additional cost.
Do you have a Risk Assessment Management Form?
Yes, please download our form.
Can I book a group in the school holidays?
School bookings are subject to availability and may incur peak season pricing during NZ and AU school holidays.
