Roundhill Ski Area

One of the best -capacity, view and snow.However, if you are a snowboarder, this is not your field unless you are advanced in T bar. You might end up spending half of your energy dealing with the T bar as it’s lonng way up.

Dusty drive in (30 mins) but brilliant for kids and families. Spectacular views of the mountains and Lake Tekapo. Staff very friendly.

Family friendly, good for carving. Big and steep on pise. If the big rope tow is open, will be the best powder ski experience.

- A Good ski field to visit with family.- Kids can enjoy themselves very well.- Wide Access road.- Can go with a two-wheel drive vehicle.- Drive a little fast if no ice in the access road.

It's a nice drive from Lake Tekapo to Roundhill. The views are amazing. We were not at the field for skiing but to just let our kids have some fun with snow. We only had to pay for the toboggans else no cost to park and just have some snow fun. There is ample car park space and the cafe is good to.

Have been here skiing couple of times and me and we absolutely love it. Great way to get started if you have never been skiing before. There is a first timer pack which includes rental of ski gears, full day lift pass and 1.5 hours group lessons on basic skiing. We had instructor named Tessa (I think) who was very friendly patient and professional while instructing the group and felt like we got good hang of it by the end. I would strongly recommend doing a class if you haven't skied before. The Cafe up there has good options of food too. Only watch out is the driving up to the ski field road is uneven surface and gravel which is very slippery at all times - recommend you to take suv or 4wd. Otherwise a lot of fun and will be back for sure.

Epic views and some amazing skiing on ungroomed snow down from the heritage express tee bar. A little on the expensive side costing the same as commercial fields (no student discount) but on a good day it's just as good a field.

Our fav ski field! Very easy to get there! Most of the time no chains for 4WD. Great coaches. Definitely the best slops for beginners/learners.
