Whether you’re new to skiing or an experienced snow hound, it’s hard to beat an exhilarating week zipping down the slopes
Our group ski trips take the hard work out of planning a trip to the snow. We’ve got everything organised for your winter trip from transport and accommodation to an expert local crew ready to show you the best runs in New Zealand and beyond. We can also arrange your ski gear and clothing. And it’s not just the iconic snow fields like Mt Hutt, Ohau, Treble Cone, The Remarkables, Cardrona and Coronet Peak you’ll be exploring. We’ve included time away from the slopes to discover the best ski towns, too.

Our leaders are specially trained to run active adventures, so you're well taken care of. We run safety assessments on all our activities to meet local standards as well as our own comprehensive safety policy.
Our trips are about discovering a new destination and unlocking new skills – like horse riding, canyoneering or mountain biking. They're designed to teach you something new (and maybe even make you an enthusiast, too!).
We use travel as a force for good. We have close relationships with the communities we visit and always use local adventure providers on our trips. By travelling with us, you'll also be empowering local communities.

Highlights
Want to know where the best fresh powder is or how to get on and off a ski lift with ease when you’re a first-timer? Our expert snow leaders are on hand to help with everything you need. Whether you’re a beginner skier or advanced snowboarder, skiing with friends or a solo traveller, they can help with everything you need to know about life on the slopes.
When you join an Intrepid snow adventure, everything is arranged so all you have to do is choose your favorite slopes and hit the snow. You can also stay right on the mountain with ski fields outside your front door or even under the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve. Add plenty of fun places to visit nearby and you have the perfect trip.
What’s better than skiing or snowboarding on a fantastic field? Hitting the snow at multiple snow spots on the one trip. On an Intrepid group ski and snowboarding holiday, you can try up to five different snow fields on the same tour in Queenstown and beyond. With trips ranging from 5 to 12 days, there’s more than enough on-snow action to satisfy even the keenest skier.
Your ski trip with Intrepid gives you access to local ‘untamed’ ski areas known as ski clubs or private fields with uncrowded slopes and no lift queues. If you want to soak up the old-school vibe of a traditional ski experience, these not-for-profit clubs are the perfect spot. Skiing and snowboarding at a private field also increases your chances of making fresh tracks on pristine powder snow.
