Description
Mount Dobson has the largest learners/intermediate area in NZ with the longest Platter lift, making it ideal for beginners to enjoy learning in a pleasant relaxed environment with plenty of room and few crowds. Our Triple chair up the West Valley and advanced runs will provide the more experienced skiers and boarders plenty of variety and challenge. The addition of snowmaking machines should lengthen our season this year, and we invite you to take advantage of this.
