Hit the Slopes: Queenstown Ski Season Kicks Off 14 June ⛷️❄️

Winter is officially calling—and Queenstown is ready to answer. NZSki has announced the opening of its world-class ski fields from 14 June 2025, and whether you're a seasoned shredder or a first-time snow-goer, this is your green light to gear up and go.

Three Mountains. Endless Possibility.

Queenstown is lucky enough to have three incredible ski fields on its doorstep:

• Coronet Peak – The closest to town and perfect for early-morning laps or night skiing.
• The Remarkables – A favourite for freestyle terrain, wide runs, and epic views.
• Cardrona + Treble Cone – Technically over the hill, but still within reach—especially with a rental car.

Each mountain offers rental gear, ski lessons, and hot food to fuel your day on the slopes. Just don’t forget your beanie and sunnies—the winter sun can still bite.

Why You’ll Want a Car

If you’re planning to ski or snowboard this winter, having your own set of wheels is a game changer. Here’s why booking with Evolve Rentals makes the most sense:

• Early Starts, Easy Access – Be on the first chair without relying on bus timetables.
• Space for Your Gear – Our SUVs (like the Mitsubishi Outlander Hybrid) are ski-trip ready with plenty of boot space.
• Freedom to Choose Your Mountain – Decide on the day where the snow is best and chase the fresh powder.

Pro Tips for a Smooth Ride

• Book Early – Winter weekends sell out quickly, especially when the snow is good.
• Add Snow Chains – Conditions can change fast. We’ll show you how to fit them if needed.
• Layer Up – Queenstown mornings are chilly, but the drive up the mountain is much more comfortable with your own heater blasting.

Queenstown’s slopes are waiting. The 2025 ski season officially begins on 13 June, so grab your pass, pack your thermals, and book your ride with Evolve Rentals before the rush hits.
