Mount Hutt Chooses Kassbohrer For The Road To Carbon Neutrality By 2030

A true alpine experience, with wide-open terrain, leg-burning runs, monster snowfalls, and spectacular views. You’ve not skied in New Zealand until you’ve skied Hutt!  

Mount Hutt in Canterbury is renowned for its unique pyramidal shape and expansive 365 hectares of skiable terrain. As part of NZSki Ltd, which also manages the resorts Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, Mount Hutt offers a diverse range of slopes, including challenging double black diamonds and modern snow parks. With over 300 employees, including four professional slope teams and ten dedicated snow groomer operators working in two shifts, Mount Hutt is a major player in the New Zealand ski industry. The stunning views, including the Pacific Ocean to the east and the snow-capped Alps to the west, enhance the extraordinary experience. With a long ski season from June to October and around four to five meters of snow annually, it’s a prime destination for domestic skiers seeking less crowded, well-groomed trails.

To improve operations and sustainability, Mount Hutt uses four PistenBully 600 snow groomers, including models with winches for steep terrain and others for terrain parks. SNOWsat is used for fleet management and to accurately measure and plan snow depths. In 2024, a PRO ACADEMY training course was held for the first time to improve the skills of the operators.

The ski resort aims to become carbon neutral by 2030. Mount Hutt sees great opportunities for the future in the use of the diesel-electric PistenBully 600 E+ and the use of HVO Diesel, underlining its commitment to providing an excellent guest experience and protecting the environment.
