THE REMARKABLES2019 Update

Find your Freedom

What’s New for 2019

There’s even more terrain to find your freedom at The Remarkables in 2019, plus other nifty new developments

at the popular Queenstown ski field including snow shoeing tours and improved seating within the

restaurant.

• A new 160-metre covered long conveyor lift will access a whole new learners area, enhancing the progression from novice skier/boarder to catching the Alta beginner chairlift. This provides an increase of 30% in learners terrain.

• A new-era, fuel-efficient PB600 level red winch groomer fitted with V3 Snowsat will maximise snow cover and offer a closer “shave” of terrain.

•Reconfiguration of the kitchen to better meet lunchtime demands, including more efficient recycling, faster delivery of hot food and better seating areas.

• A $200,000 upgrade of the ski/board rental equipment fleet.

• More ski racks to accommodate all those skis/boards during the lunch influx.

• Exterior heating for the bus patrons departing the ski area on those cold July evenings.

• General signage improvements throughout the base lodge.

• New education panels for Kea conservation awareness as part of the mountain’s partnership with the Kea Conservation Trust

• The Kea Nest has had a makeover now with complete enclosure to reduce the distraction factor of our younger guests while in the

Mini Kea programme.

• Two brand new MAN 4WD buses to add to the fleet.
