Skiing in the Mt Cook Ski Region with Southern Alps Guiding is the ultimate adventure. Tasman Glacier Skiing with Southern Alps Guiding is now in it's 14th year of operation and continues to deliver a professional high quality service to our customers. Skiing on the glaciers of New Zealand is truly a unique experience and more and more people are wanting to enjoy this world of breathtaking beauty.
The world-famous Tasman Glacier is 29km long and flows among the highest mountains in New Zealand. Fly into the heart of the Southern Alps and land at the head of the Tasman Glacier in the famous ski-equipped ski plane. Visit incredible ice caves, peer into deep crevasses (from a safe viewing point) and visit glacial canyons. The skyscrapper sized ice blocks are an amazing site. Then onto a 10-12km ski run to your awaiting ski plane. "Get in, buckle up and start again". Explore a different distant corner of this great glacier for another lengthy ski run. After our second "long" ski-run we finish off with a scenic ski plane flight back to Aoraki Mt Cook airport. It's then off to the Old Mountaineers for Gluwein.
You DON'T have to be an expert to ski the glaciers. The skiing terrain is ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers.
