Ski & Board Fox Peak
Fox Peak lies in the Two Thumbs Range and the views here are just spectacular! The field is operated by the Fox Peak Ski Club - one of the oldest clubs in New Zealand. A huge variety of trails for all levels of abilities, hundreds of acres of natural snow, uncrowded slopes and a friendly welcome all add up to a wonderful alpine experience for skiers and boarders.
The terrain ranges from big wide-open faces, which are great for beginners and intermediates, to the adventurous South Basin and North Basin Ridge. Heli-skiing is available here, and parapenting off the upper slopes is an exciting option for the adventurous. To get there from
Fairlie (on the
Queenstown-
Christchurch Highway), take the road to
Geraldine at the town monument, then turn left after 500m onto Clayton Road. The ski field entrance is signposted on your left after about 20km.
