Ski The Tasman. Explore New Zealand’s largest glacier, blue ice caves and incredible ice formations while making turns on their longest ski runs. Skiing the Tasman Glacier is a classic Kiwi snow adventure, guides by Alpine Guides, Mount Cook’s original mountain and ski guiding company. They fly you up to the head of New Zealand’s longest glacier and then ski down runs that are easy to moderate (green to blue grade) but all on natural snow. The pace is relaxed with time to soak up the incredible grandeur of the Southern Alps. Intermediate skiers welcome! Visit the website.
