OVERVIEW:The Remarkables is the best place in the South Island to
learn to ski. The mountain has a series of sheltered bowls, all with easy chairlift
access, and loads of long cruising runs - perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers.
The atmosphere is friendly, and the emphasis is on fun.
Dont panic if you havent got the gear, or you
dont want to lug it up the mountain.
Our rental department and Sno Shop have everything you need - from clothing to the latest
carving skis.
Sit back while our trained technicians find you the right boot or board to try out on the
slopes. If you need sunscreen, goggles or a woolly hat, youll find what you need at
our well-stocked Sno Shop.
BOARD ATTITUDEIts too difficult to sum up The Remarkable
experience in just a few words - wide open trails - native keas - powder - spectacular
views - sun drenched terrain - rock bands and cornices - hikes and traverses with friends
to unforgettable runs - chutes for a challenge and of course homeward bound
powder run for all levels of snowboarders, so long and open that theres a free bus
at the bottom waiting to take you back up to the base lodge for more.
Beginners to advanced to extremist - The Remarkables can truly be a fantastic alpine
experience.
One of the contradictions about The Remarkables is that
while its ideal for beginners, its also home away from home for those who
enjoy the extreme.
Take on the escalator, taste some Homeward Bound powder, or explore the back country run
beside Lake Alta. Theres terrain like youve never seen before ... and if
youre prepared to exercise the legs a little, youll discover some of the
longest off-piste runs around.
