Mount Hutt Relies On Kassbohrer On Its Way To Climate Neutrality By 2030

Voted New Zealand's best ski resort at the World Ski Awards for nine years in a row, Mount Hutt offers a true alpine experience with vast terrain, tough runs, massive amounts of snow and spectacular views. If you want to ski in New Zealand, you have to come to Mount Hutt! 

Mount Hutt in Canterbury is known for its unique pyramid shape and expansive 365-hectare ski area. Part of NZSki Ltd, which also manages the Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski areas, Mount Hutt offers a variety of slopes, including challenging double black diamond runs and modern snow parks. With over 300 employees, including four professional piste teams and ten dedicated snowcat operators working in two shifts, Mount Hutt is a major player in New Zealand's ski industry. Stunning views, including the Pacific Ocean to the east and the snow-capped Alps to the west, complete the exceptional experience. With a long ski season from June to October and around four to five metres of snow each year, it is a prime destination for local skiers who appreciate less crowded, well-groomed slopes.

To improve operations and sustainability, Mount Hutt uses four PistenBully 600 snow groomers, including models with winches for steep terrain and others for fun 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 further train drivers.

The ski resort has set itself the goal of becoming 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, thereby underlining its commitment to not only creating an outstanding experience for guests, but also protecting the environment.
