Top Services for Winter Activities in Otago

I think you should ask about their multi-day rental discounts right away. I missed out on a sweet deal by not asking! There’s also a chance they might throw in some freebies if you’re friendly!

I recommend getting your gear the day before if you can. It saved me so much time on the morning of hitting the slopes. Plus, you avoid the crowds and have time to make adjustments if needed.

I think bringing your own socks can save you a few bucks. Their rentals were nice, but charged for the basics like socks, and I wasn’t keen on spending extra.

My advice is to arrive right at 8:30 AM. The staff is super chill, and you can grab your gear straight away without waiting in long lines

I recommend booking your equipment online a few days before your trip to save some cash. They often have discounts that'll help you spend less and get better gear.

Check out the daily schedule for events and competitions – they were super fun and gave me a chance to meet other visitors. I missed one because I didn’t check ahead and it would have made my trip even better!

Come ready for variable weather I found the weather changed pretty fast. If it's sunny in the morning pack your sunglasses but if it's snowing keep your goggles handy!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save money. The food on the mountain can be pricey and not that great anyway. I packed some sandwiches and it made my day way better!

Check the weather in advance. I thought it wouldn’t matter but I ended up getting caught in a storm and missed out on a whole day of snowboarding. Bring layers just in case it can change fast.

My advice is to check for deals on lift passes at Ski Hire NZ. I found a combo deal that saved me some cash, plus it made things more convenient.

I suggest booking your gear online in advance to save time and guarantee availability especially during peak season. I did this and skipped the long lines when I arrived.

I recommend getting there by 8:00 AM to avoid the crowd. The staff are super helpful and it felt much more relaxed when I arrived early.

I recommend renting your equipment for a few days instead of just one... Many places offer discounts for multi-day rentals, and I regretted not doing that!
