Does Coronet Peak have snowmaking?
We love snow, it’s what we do. But when Mother Nature is a little shy, we like to give her a hand.
There are three key factors that create the ideal conditions for us to make fantastic snow:
- Cold temperatures, -2.5 wet-bulb at a minimum (wet-bulb is a calculation of humidity and ambient temperature)
- Light to no wind
- Clear skies and no moisture in the air
We have 232 fully automated snow guns, supplied with water by 9 pumps from 4 pump-houses capable of flowing 300+ litres per second. 5 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 285,000,000 litres.
We catch and reuse 80% of the water that we use. All this makes for the biggest automated system in the southern hemisphere!
Do I need to book in advance?
We highly recommend booking online before you arrive, especially during weekends, holidays and powder days. Booking ahead helps you lock in the best price and makes your day on the mountain smoother from the get-go.
How often is the Mt Hutt snow report updated?
The snow report is posted daily throughout the ski season and is regularly updated throughout the day with the latest lift status, snowfall, weather and road conditions.
Is Mt Hutt good for beginners?
Absolutely. Coronet Peak is one of the best places to learn in New Zealand, with wide beginner areas, dedicated learning spaces and easy progression terrain. Add in fast lifts, friendly instructors and Queenstown just down the road, and you’ve got the perfect setup for first turns.

What is a MyPass Card?
A MyPass is a small card, about the size of a credit card you need to use to access the passes you've purchased for Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt. It allows you to access the conveyors and lifts, as well as any rental gear, lessons or Queenstown Ski Bus rides you have purchased. On top of that, you can add MyPass Money to your MyPass card as credit for purchasing anything on our mountains. Since all the mountains are cashless, it’s perfect for giving the kids something to buy their lunch with.
To get your MyPass card, you can pick one up from our Guest Services team or our self-serve kiosks in one of the following locations:
- Coronet Peak, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- The Remarkables, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- Mt Hutt, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- Our Snow Centre in downtown Queenstown.
What snow gear can I rent at Coronet Peak?
On-mountain ski, snowboard and helmet rentals are available for adults and children, along with jackets and pants. For hygiene reasons, gloves and goggles are not available to rent. If you need them, our on-mountain snow shop stocks the latest gear and is an easy stop for any last-minute essentials. We recommend booking rentals online in advance during peak periods to save time on arrival.
