Off-piste and backcountry

The best snow that’s safe to ski

For skiers who’ve done the Alps or Japan and want something wilder. Each morning our guides check the conditions and pick the best snow that’s safe to ski.

Guided off-piste days

Whether that’s Apharwat’s open faces or tree runs in a storm, the day is chosen that morning. Nothing here is groomed into a motorway. On snowy days the forest gives you shelter and soft turns. When the sky opens up, so does the mountain.

Apharwat Powder Week is seven guided days, starting price $1,117.

Backcountry tours

Skins, transceivers and a ridge to climb. Guided days and multi-day tours beyond the gondola for trained, equipped skiers who want the mountain to themselves. Our guides are certified and trained to the New Zealand standard AIARE.

Off-piste can be safe with the right conditions, equipment, training and a local guide. Never ski backcountry terrain alone.
