South Island - Ohau
Ohau, as part of the Ohau Range in the Main Divide, is endowed with reliable snowfall and fine weather. Ohau is serviced by a double chairlift, a platter and a snow mat. The main trails are groomed regularly.
‘The Boulevard’ offers learners and intermediates an easy and fun skiing or snowboarding experience from the top of the chairlift down to the base facilities. The chairlift also provides access to a wide variety of slopes suitably challenging for experts and exciting for intermediates.
A very gentle slope, serviced by new snow mat, is ideal for children and beginners. The platter lift is more exciting for the developing beginner.
Location:
42km south of Twizel on Highway 8 is the turn off to Lake Ohau. From the turn off there is a 20km sealed road to, and around the lake to the ski field access road. The alpine road is a 10km unsealed road to the car park. The Lake Ohau Lodge at the base of the access road, on the shores of Lake Ohau is well worth a stay. It is a great stop over half way between Christchurch and Queenstown.
