Craigieburn

Craigieburn Valley stands as a beacon for advanced skiing in New Zealand, renowned for its steep terrain and challenging lines across 400 hectares of skiable area. This club field embodies pure, unfiltered mountain adventure with no grooming, minimal facilities, and some of the country's most intense off-piste runs. While experts flock to the steep chutes and open bowls, intermediates can find their rhythm on the mountain's middle sections.

Three high-capacity rope tows - the Bottom, Middle, and Top - form Craigieburn's lift network, accessing an impressive 500 meters of vertical terrain. These simple yet robust lifts grant access to vast, uncrowded slopes where fresh tracks last for days. While mastering the nutcracker rope tow system requires initial practice, it rewards users with quick access to remarkable terrain.
