Why Ski New Zealand?

New Zealand offers more than just great skiing and boarding, it’s an ultimate winter holiday destination packed with adventure for all ages. Explore and experience a new winter destination, challenge yourself with the superb terrain and be treated to great hospitality and amazing scenery.

Everything is at your doorstep Unlike other countries, New Zealand’s ski areas are not set up as resorts but rather, accommodation is in the surrounding towns offering après-ski nightlife and extensive dining options. The opportunity to take in sights and activities off the mountain on those days when the conditions aren’t great or you are simply in the mood for a change of pace is another great advantage when taking your winter break in New Zealand.

More flexibility means more fun Even the ski passes in New Zealand are flexible! The Queenstown Superpass, Flexi Pass and Mt Ruapehu Pass include access to multiple ski fields, allowing you to visit a different ski field each day. The Queenstown Superpass is also redeemable for sightseeing activities, meals and retail vouchers on those days when you can’t get on the slopes.

pg 6

Start planning - check out the great range of ski passes on page 6

Take the family All the main ski fields cater for children, offering great facilities ranging from childcare centres to kids programmes which include activities such as time on the snow and private ski lessons. Another excellent advantage of skiing in New Zealand is if your littlies are already pros, then depending on their age, they could even be out on the slopes for free!

pg 12

Check out some of our great family package ideas, starting on page 12

Extensive range of accommodation options We have accommodation to fit everyone’s budget - from B&B’s to backpackers, luxury lodges, hotels, motels and apartments - there is a style of accommodation to suit you. Most accommodation options in New Zealand will provide you with a drying room and storage options for your ski & snowboarding gear, enabling you to start fresh every day with nice dry gear. Once you have determined which accommodation suits your needs, we can package it up with ski passes and your choice of either car hire or transfers.

pg 14

Have a look at all our fantastic accommodation options, from page 14

Plenty to see, plenty to do Turn your ski holiday into a winter adventure with New Zealand’s range of iconic sightseeing activities. Take an exhilarating jetboat ride in Queenstown, join a day tour to spectacular Milford Sound, enjoy a scenic cruise on Lake Wanaka, discover some of Middle-Earth’s filming locations in Methven, or traverse the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in the North Island. Experience more than just skiing & snowboarding on your next winter holiday! Most of our packages also include free time at your destination for you to book and experience some of the many sightseeing activities on offer.

pg 17

Discover a selection of sightseeing activities, starting on page 17

Getting to & around New Zealand is easy It is easier than ever before to hit the New Zealand slopes with more direct flights to Queenstown available. If you want to mix your trip up and try other ski regions throughout New Zealand, why not fly into either Rotorua or Christchurch. It is simple getting to New Zealand - the hardest decision is when to go and for how long. Once you’ve made your flight across the ditch, the opportunities are endless. When you do arrive there are plenty of on ground arrangements you can choose from, with options of either transfers, car hire or even a motorhome. Then you can decide if you want to stay in a single location and master one mountain or move around and challenge yourself.

pg 28

Ideas on rental vehicles to tie in with your winter escape are on page 28

Why Ski New Zealand?


Creating Your Ski Holiday

Flights to New Zealand When considering New Zealand for your ski or snowboarding holiday, you have a great choice of airline providers to choose between, including Air New Zealand, Qantas, Virgin Australia and Emirates. Kirra can help you book the ideal flights to tie in with your winter holiday at great prices. To save disappointment when planning your trip, we recommend that you look at sourcing your flights early. Airlines release great specials but you need to be quick to take advantage of them. Why not ask us to check out the latest deals for you?

Booking with Kirra Holidays makes it easy Once you’ve made the decision to cross the ditch for a ski or snowboarding holiday, it can sometimes be hard to know where to start when it comes to planning your trip. Whether it’s your first time hitting the slopes or you’re a seasoned pro, this brochure makes booking your holiday easy. Simply choose from an array of accommodation, with a selection provided for each of the four main ski regions. We can then package your accommodation with your choice of car hire or transfers. Whichever ski region you decide to visit, we can assist you further by also arranging ski passes, lessons, sightseeing activities and clothing & equipment hire. Throughout this brochure, you will notice is a selection of Earlybird deals available for youadvantage to take advantage Throughout this brochure you will notice there is athere selection of ‘Earlybird’ deals available for you to take of when An Earlybird deal is a greatdeal wayisto must be bookedbut by some a certain date.

Stay put or explore? If you like to stay in one spot when you travel and use it as a base to discover what’s around you, then one of our featured packages is the perfect option. If you fancy yourself as more of a ‘free spirit’, then you might like to consider a motorhome for your winter escape. Kirra has a large range of motorhome touring options for you to choose from. See page 30 for a selection of motorhomes, or ask us for more information. Not only does motorhome travel give you the option of trying every ski field, you get to see stunning scenery blanketed in snow along the way and motorhomes are well equipped for the cold conditions, so you never need to worry about keeping warm. We do recommend that when staying in Queenstown and other popular locations, you stay at one of the many Holiday Parks available. Key locations such as Queenstown do not allow freedom camping within the local area unlike other places throughout New Zealand. To make sure you are abiding by the rules when having a winter holiday in a motorhome, check out www.camping.org.nz.

The New Zealand Ski Season The ski season in New Zealand can differ slightly between the regions but typically runs from mid June to early October. The peak time for travel is July - August and it’s always a good idea to book as far ahead as you can, especially if you are travelling during school holidays or a special event period. We recommend that you pre-book your itinerary to avoid the possibility of accommodation not being available in your chosen town or locality. Pre-booking will ensure a stress-free holiday.

What’s next? Now you have decided that New Zealand is the perfect destination for your ultimate winter escape and you have an idea of when and where you would like to go, it’s time to see your favourite travel agent. Alternatively, you can visit the Kirra Holidays website at www.kirraholidays.com to make your booking, or call one of our consultants on 1800 044 183.

Queenstown Sightseeing SHOTOVER JET

gondola, kiwi haka & buffet dinner

The Shotover Jet is New Zealand’s most iconic and popular activity. From the moment the accelerator hits the floor, your adrenaline hits the roof as you speed in mere centimetres of water along the famous Shotover River and deep into the spectacular Shotover River Canyons. Hold on tight for Queenstown’s only exhilarating full 360° spins and speed through the narrow Shotover Canyon in crystal clear water as shallow as 10cm deep.

Adult $123 CHILD (5-15 yrs) $66

30 min shows begin at 5.15pm, 6.00pm, 7.15pm & 8.00pm daily

nzone tandem skydive

nevis bungy

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 9,000ft into thin air. It takes courage. Your flight to altitude takes you high above the alpine resort of Queenstown, over crystal clear lakes and snowcapped mountains. Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced and qualified Jumpmaster, you step out that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you plummet towards the ground at 200kph, Terminal Velocity.

With the Nevis Highwire Bungy, getting there is half the fun! The experience kicks off with a rugged 35 minute 4x4 drive before you get harnessed up and board the shuttle, which ferries you to the Bungy Pod. After arriving at the Bungy Pod you’ll have time to come to grips with what you’re about to do... bungy 134 meters over the Nevis Valley, with 8.5 seconds of freefall!
