In a bold move set to redefine winter tourism for Australians, NZSki has unveiled a game-changing evolution in ski travel: the all-new, expanded Superpass. This single, powerful pass grants access to ten premier ski destinations across New Zealand, ushering in a new era of ultimate flexibility, regional exploration, and snow-fueled adventure.

Gone are the days of being bound to one resort or restricted by rigid dates. The Superpass now unlocks the gates to some of the most iconic ski fields in the Southern Hemisphere, including:

• Coronet Peak and The Remarkables in Queenstown

• Mt Hutt near Methven

• Snowplanet in Auckland

• Turoa and Whakapapa on Mt Ruapehu

• Porters at Castle Hill

• Roundhill in Tekapo

• Mt Dobson in South Canterbury

• Ohau in the Mackenzie region

This visionary offering is more than just a lift ticket—it’s a passport to adventure. Whether carving through alpine powder, soaking in a hot tub beneath star-strewn skies, or enjoying après experiences in Queenstown’s lively town centre, the Superpass allows skiers and snowboarders to choose their path through the winter wonderland.

“Bringing together ten of New Zealand’s most iconic ski areas under one pass is a thrilling milestone,” declared Paul Anderson, CEO of NZSki. “We’re giving travellers the freedom to chase the snow, explore new terrain, and enjoy peace of mind when planning their trip. It’s a leap forward for winter tourism, and a big win for communities across the country.”

Indeed, the initiative isn’t just about convenience but invigorating local economies. By encouraging visitors to spread their time across diverse regions, the Superpass helps distribute tourism dollars more equitably, giving smaller ski towns a chance to shine and grow.

“This isn’t just a pass—it’s a story of discovery,” added Anderson. “And it’s helping write the next chapter for New Zealand’s winter appeal.”

Australia remains a key source market for New Zealand’s winter tourism, and the Superpass is perfectly tailored to their travel habits and preferences.

“Winter in New Zealand is like nowhere else,” noted Andrew Waddel, General Manager – Australia, Tourism New Zealand. “Where else can you ski fresh powder in the morning, stargaze after dinner, and soak in a hot tub before bed—all in one day?”

“Australians are already dreaming of their next snow trip. With Superpass, they can book early without being locked into fixed mountain dates, giving them freedom and confidence to experience more.”

The flexibility doesn’t end on the slopes. Superpass holders can swap their ski day for credits toward over 60 off-mountain experiences, including:

• Gourmet dining and wine tasting in Queenstown

• Adrenaline-pumping adventure activities in Canterbury

• Relaxing thermal spas, scenic lake cruises, and boutique shopping

This adaptability makes the Superpass unique—a blend of alpine excitement and lifestyle indulgence, tailor-made for today’s traveller.

And with New Zealand’s borders open and snow season anticipation building. The Superpass is a beacon for those longing to escape, explore, and embrace winter on their terms.
