OVERVIEW:

With regular snowfalls on its peaks and across its wide open slopes, Mount Dobson offers a fun skiing and snowboarding experience for everyone. It is especially well suited to families, beginners and intermediates, but high above the groomed slopes there's amazing soft smooth powder to challenge the best skiers and boarders.

Mt Dobson, one of only 12 commercial ski areas in New Zealand, is owned and operated by the Foote family of Fairlie, who have made it their commitment to make this the friendliest ski area around. It has been operating since 1980.

UNSURPASSED VIEWS, UNTRACKED SLOPES

Climb to the peak of Mount Dobson for spectacular views over Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki, and across to Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, New Zealand's highest peaks before challenging yourself for an off-piste ride over untracked snow down to groomed trails.

Mt Dobson is a 3 km wide treeless bowl, facing south west on the southern end of the Two Thumbs range between the Fairlie and Tekapo townships, which provides for great skiing and snowboarding with up to 14 runs and spectacular views of the MacKenzie Basin and the Southern Alps.
