Summer, sand, surf and sunnies... shudder! If your perfect holiday involves swapping the budgie smugglers for a fresh hit of powder and champagne of the snow variety, then it’s time to grab the ski goggles because our snow packages in Queenstown, Wanaka and Methven will have you shreddin’ the slopes this winter.

Our mates at Oz Snow have been leading the way in ski packages and semi-hosted ski/board trips since 1999, starting in Australia before crossing the ditch to Queenstown in 2004 and moving out to Wanaka, North America and Japan from 2005.

Spend a Remarkable (geddit?) day up the mountains before partying in Queenstown, carve up the slopes of Treble Cone and Cardrona in Wanaka or head to Methven for some primo powder at Mt Hutt.

Whether you are travelling with a mate or a group, are a complete beginner or a self-confessed snow bunny, Oz Snow packages are perfect for your winter break. From accommodation and ski passes to transport and ski hire, Oz Snow’s packages are guaranteed to be fun-filled and good value for money, removing the stress so you have more time up the mountains.

Want a year-round winter wonderland? Ask us about our Japan, USA and Canada snow packages.
