Fly by Ski plane or Helicopter to the top of the famous Tasman Glacier – New Zealand’s longest glacier, for two guided ski runs through sculptural terrain and ice features, in the magical alpine wilderness of Aoraki/Mount Cook.

Feel like you have the glacier all to yourself and leave no trace, just tracks – with the regions only Net Carbon Zero operator and pioneers of the Ski Plane. 

Ski the Tasman operates mid-June to mid-October, when powder is more common.

With the ability to be personalised to suit the needs of your group, Ski the Tasman is a great introduction to backcountry skiing with family & friends, as the ski terrain is moderate (blue runs) and the pace is relaxed.

There are two ski runs included in the Ski The Tasman package. Mount Cook Ski Planes and Helicopters will fly the ski party to the top of the Tasman Glacier, to begin the first run, then deliver you to a different beginning site for the second run.

(Third runs available on the day pending conditions for an additional cost)

INFANTS: The Civil Aviation Authority stipulates that we operate our aircraft in line with the manufacturers guidelines, one of these guidelines is that there is maximum number of passengers allowed on the aircraft, adult, child or infant. Therefore when an infant is booked on our flights and sits on the lap of a caregiver we are required to leave a seat free for this infant, thus the total maximum number of passengers remains the same. This is why you will see a charge for infants.
