Backcounty Mountain Safety

Safety First!

If you decide to go skiing or snowboarding in the backcountry, you need to carry the right safety equipment. Avalanches happen for a reason, so it’s important to choose your terrain wisely. You are welcome to go and see Ski Patrol to get an up to date report on current conditions.

‍

Please be aware that our Ski Patrol do not patrol backcountry areas outside of the ski area boundary and only venture here in the case of a known emergency. Our Ski Patrol does not manage intentions but please visit the Mountain Safety website for details on requirements to ensure a safe backcountry adventure.

‍

Alta Turquoise to Alta Lake is the designated safe ski touring route and is the only permitted ski touring route while ski patrol is conducting avalanche control work. Ski touring within the ski area boundary is dangerous and can result in serious injury so please respect all signage and closures. View our Ski Touring information.

Give way to those downhill. Look before you leap. Snowboarders: take care turning onto your heel edge.

Only stop where you can be seen from above. Always look uphill before moving again. Only stop on the edge of trails or beside fixed objects.

Stay 5m from others. If less than 5m from others you must slow down. The faster you go the more space you must give others.

Limit your speed in busy areas. Match your speed to surrounding skiers and riders and be prepared for others to make sudden changes in direction or speed.

FAQs

Can I drive any vehicle up The Remarkables access road?

All vehicles are permitted to access The Remarkables and 4WD vehicles are not required. However, depending on your vehicle, you may need to fit snow chains, and there can be restrictions on 2WD vehicles & high-sided vehicles such as campervans during inclement weather.

‍

If you're travelling in a rental vehicle, we recommend checking with your rental company before your visit, as driving on alpine roads or using snow chains is not always covered.

‍

For the latest road conditions and updates, check the Snow Report, which is updated daily by 6:30am.

Can I pay for my Season Pass in installments?

Yes, you can split the cost of your season pass with our monthly instalment option. Pay just $50 for your first payment and the rest next year with our Super Earlybird payment plan if you purchase by 31 October 2025. From 1 November 2025, you can still purchase on instalments. However, the cost per instalment payment may change. Terms & Conditions apply, see our full disclosure statement, including instalment dates here.

Can I visit The Remarkables without skiing?

Not skiing or snowboarding? The adventure doesn’t stop there. Take in sweeping alpine views, grab a coffee with a mountain backdrop, and make the most of our dedicated snow play and toboggan area. From family fun to unforgettable photo moments, The Remarkables offers plenty of ways to experience the magic of the maunga.

Do I need snow chains?

Snow chains should always be carried during winter. Alpine weather can change quickly, and chains may become mandatory during snowfall or icy conditions. Check our Snow Report for the road conditions before heading up for the day so you know what to expect.

It allows you to access the conveyors and lifts, as well as any rental gear, lessons or Queenstown Ski Bus rides you have purchased.

• Coronet Peak, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.

When is the best time to ski in Queenstown?

The ski season runs from mid-June to early October.

July is a popular time with school holidays and a great family atmosphere, while August often brings the most consistent snow coverage and cooler temps. If you're after sunny days and soft spring laps, September is ideal, fewer crowds, longer daylight, and great value on spring ski passes.

When is the ski season?

The season kicks off in June and runs through early October. July school holidays bring the busiest crowds, so plan ahead and book early to lock in the magic.

Many of The Remarkables' most popular freeride zones are easily accessed via lifts. Areas such as Curvey Basin, Gallipoli Chutes, Shadow Basin, Sugar Bowl, and the famous Alta Chutes can be reached with minimal hiking, allowing riders to maximise time on snow and enjoy more freeride laps throughout the day.
