Ski Weeks

The quintessential Mt Olympus experience

A Ski Week is relentlessly uplifting non-virtual reality of a deliciously alpine nature. All snow lovers tend to shed their worries as they gain altitude. Ski Weeks supersize that warm fuzzy feeling with an entertaining mash-up of fellow travellers committed to sniffing out the best snow, and creating real memories so good you’ll turn off your phone notifications.

How it works…

Ski Weeks run throughout the season starting on a Sunday and finishing the following Friday. They include six days skiing and five nights fully-catered accommodation. You need to book and pay in advance to secure your chosen dates. Bookings open to members in May and to non-members two weeks later. As you’d expect for such a unique Kiwi snow experience, most Ski Weeks have their long-standing regulars (in the case of Dogtuckers — for decades). Common threads of fun, frivolity and freeride abandon stitch the Ski Week calendar together.

Bookings open May 20th for members and 1st June 2024 for non-members.
