Where do I hire equipment and clothing?
You can hire ski or snowboard gear, clothing and helmets in the Snow Centre before you go or when you're on the mountain. We strongly recommend you wear a helmet when skiing or snowboarding.
Due to health reasons, we don't rent gloves or goggles but you can purchase these at our retail shops on the mountains.
Hiring ski or snowboard equipment on the mountain means you don't have to lug your gear from town. You simply pick it up in the morning when you arrive, and drop it back before going home.
If you are skiing/boarding for more than one day you can take advantage of our FREE overnight storage too!
We have equipment for ages 4 and up. If you have a younger child you would like to get on skies, please contact us directly and we will see what we can do. At Coronet Peak at Mt Hutt, if your child is booked into Skiwiland/our child care facilities this can include rental.
We carry brands such as Head, Burton and Salomon to give you a choice of fit and feel.
As you start to progress, you can upgrade from our recreational to premium rentals. We also tune our gear regularly so it's in top shape when you hit the slopes.
If your skis aren't performing well or you think you might have the incorrect sized ski boots, you can take your gear in and get it changed right away, ensuring your comfort and enjoyment.
Where do I collect my Lift Pass
If you are in Queenstown, you can pick your pass up at our Snow Centre in The Station building on the corner of Camp and Shotover st. Alternatively, you can pick it up from our mountains when we open.
Your MyPass card is your lift pass to ski and snowboard at Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt ski area plus you can add MyPass money to your MyPass card making it your on-mountain debit card.
Your personal MyPass account provides you with the ability to add MyPass money, and view your daily skiing and snowboarding statistics and other account details.
To avoid queues on the mountain, we recommend collecting your MyPass card the day before you head up the mountains. You'll also need this if you're catching the Ski Bus.
If you have a MyPass card from a previous season, you will be able to go straight to the lifts.
