The Southern Alps of the South Island are host to a number of superb ski resorts.

One of the most beautiful and best value is Rainbow Ski Area near St Arnaud, high in the north of this great mountain chain within the world famous Marlborough lifestyle region.

Reaching a height of over 1760 metres, Rainbow captures regular winter snow, complemented by extensive snow making, all superbly groomed to create a stunning winter playground.

Snowboarders love the varied terrain, jumps, bumps and drops. A terrain park has been developed, offering more thrills & spills for adventurous boarders and skiers.

The terrain park has great variety of rails and features to suit beginner riders to pros. The park is groomed and prepared each night for optimum riding conditions.
