Skiing-and-snowboarding-costs-hero

We compare prices for lift passes, season passes and equipment hire at New Zealand's major ski fields.

Millions of dollars have been spent on new developments at ski fields over the past few years - including chairlifts, snow-guns, cafes and retail complexes.

These bigger and bolder developments have led to bigger and bolder prices. We look at what you're up for for a day or season on the slopes.
