Queenstown – Ski The Tasman | Mount Cook Ski Planes And Helicopters By INFLITE

Quick Details

Ski Plane Package: This incredible day combines the breathtaking views of the Southern Alps and Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, with the once-in-a-lifetime experience of actually skiing on the famous Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest glacier. Our trips are open for skiers and boarders, and side adventures include visits to the ice caves and natural ice features during the ski down. The ski runs are wide and long (8-10kms per run!), similar to blue runs, and perfect for a family adventure and introduction to the backcountry. Minimum age of 10yrs required for children. Flight transfers, ski guides, and safety equipment are all included in our trips. Lunches and ski gear can be ordered at additional cost in advance with us prior to your ski date. A great winter adventure awaits and we hope to see you soon on the Tasman!
