2018 New Zealand Ski Resort Opening Dates
It's that time of year when the days are getting colder and shorter and we watch the mountains intently for signs of fresh snow. All sorts of snow forecasts are shared and we speculate as to how epic the upcoming ski season is going to be. And then we wait.
Well, along with waiting, I decided to check out all the ski resorts in New Zealand and dream - I mean plan, which ones we were going to get to this year. I also decided to put together this handy guide of all New Zealand ski resorts and their opening dates for 2018. Because having it all in one place is way easier than having 20 tabs open in my browser.
Hopefully, you'll find it handy too! Now get planning and let me know where you're headed this year!
P.S We've put together a list of all Australian Ski Resort opening dates too.
