Mt Olympus Ski Area is a club field Located in the South Island, New Zealand.
Skiers and boarders can enjoy both off-piste skiing and riding after fresh powder. Mt Olympus has four high-capacity rope tows. These tows are electrically driven and run at between 4 and 6 metres per second. Our lifts are the Access Tow, the Main Tow, the Top Tow, and the Learners’ Tow which are situated in full view of the Top Hut. Mt Olympus has a proud groomer-free zone, where skiing is all about embracing what Mother Nature gives us, and making the most of it. When it’s on, it’s REALLY on.

Mt Olympus ski area is named for the 2096 metre (6880 foot) peak over the ski area. Below it, the four high-capacity rope tows access 60 hectares of skiable terrain with plenty more available within a short hike from the lifts.
Shaped a bit like a baseball mitt, it is an ideal aspect for catching the big southerly powder dumps that give the Canterbury region its reputation for having the biggest and most consistent annual snowfall in New Zealand – over 4.5 metres (that’s nearly 15 feet)!
