Who wants to spend a week skiing and snowboarding 6 of New Zealand’s best ski fields with me @misssnowitall?
Well, now you can.
I’ve hooked up with the talented snow team at Haka Tours to create the first SnowsBest NZ Snow Safari this September 6.
You’ll hit up the South Island’s coolest ski and snowboard spots with me in tow, oh, and an expert Haka Tours Guide who will ensure we find the best runs and powder stashes.
The tour even includes our very own tour bus and driver, daily breakfasts, lift passes, accommodation, hot springs and more. Translated? No stress. None. All you have to do is show up ready to ride.
Skier or snowboarder, whatever your level or experience, this is going to be one fun tour as I show you what I love about New Zealand’s South Island.

There are no wild animals on this Safari - just tonnes of beautiful snow.
It's an early start on day one as we meet at 6am for breakfast at Haka Lodge Christchurch, before we head off to Mt Hutt. In the evenings you are welcome to relax at the accommodations, soak in the local hot tubs, cook in, eat out, go partying or even night skiing… whatever takes your fancy.
As you build your tour online, you will see many optional activities available to add - but remember, none of these are compulsory.
Not sure which activities to choose? No problem. Once you've paid a deposit and secured your seat you can add activities anytime until 30 days prior to departure.
Activities can also be purchased on the road - just let your tour guide know; they will be happy to help. However, we can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest if there are any activities you definitely want to do, that you pre-book them.
As the tour starts early in the morning, you can opt to stay at Haka Lodge Christchurch the night before the tour - only having to walk downstairs on the day the tour starts makes for a stress free morning. Likewise, you can book an extra night at the lodge on the last day so you are not in a rush once we go our separate ways.
You are welcome to finish your tour in Queenstown; we can arrange extra accommodation here as well. You can continue to ski but you won't be able to keep any hire gear that we have given you.
Upgrading your accommodation to a two person private room costs $499. The cost is per room, so if you share the room with someone else you can split the cost between you.
