NZ Clubfield & Heli Tour

Ski or snowboard some of the best terrain in the southern hemisphere on this amazing ‘middle earth’ guided powder tour. Staying in the picturesque town of Methven, you will have the best of all worlds. Ride the impressive Mt Hutt for three days to find your legs then head off to the steep tight chutes of Craigieburn, followed by a session in the powder bowls of Broken River. Top that off by exploring 3 mountain ranges with 200 named runs on the ultimate heli day with Methven Heli. This is a side of NZ that few get to experience.

Destination info:

Methven Heli
Methven Heliski’s territory (the “Arrowsmiths”) spans 3 mountain ranges, The Arrowsmith, Ragged, and Palmer Ranges. These mountains have some of New Zealand's best Heliski terrain:
* Over 1,000 square km of mountains to roam
* Over 200 named heli-skiing runs
* Average vertical drop approx 850 vertical metres

Craigieburn
What gets us excited about Craigeburn are the steep, tight chutes, long open basins, deep powder and limitless potential for those willing to take on the adventure. Middle Basin is outstanding with the kind of terrain normally accessible only by helicopter. The tows here are fast and the new day lodge has a million dollar view into Middle Basin.

Broken River
This classic clubfield features two big open bowls with varied natural hips, berms, rollers and windlips which make for heaps of fun, and the surrounding ridges and peaks have steeps, chutes and rock drops which will provide the thrill seeker with plenty of adrenaline. With a fresh dump at night and no one around, you’ll feel on top of the world.

Mt Hutt
This well know mountain has something for eveyone and is where we spend a few days getting our legs warm. But thats not to say that Mt Hutt is mellow, it’s not. With Bob’s Nob, the South Face and Rakaia Saddle Chutes there is plenty to get the heart racing. Long runs in a mix of terrain, excellent facilities, laid-back atmosphere and a 10,000 sq m terrain park.
