Ohau ski field is situated on the Ohau Range in the Main Divide, off the highway between Twizel and Omarama. The ski area is set on Mount Sutton (2000 metres) and overlooks the beautiful Lake Ohau and the valley towards Mount Cook.
Ohau is serviced by a double chairlift, a platter and a fixed grip lift. They have a highest lifted point of 1825 metres and a vertical drop of 400 metres. Beginners are catered for with a very gentle slope serviced by the fixed grip lift and the platter lift gives them their own area to further develop.
Intermediates have many top to bottom runs from the top of the chairlift including the long groomed "The Boulevard", as well as many off piste choices. The chairlift also provides access to challenging runs for advanced riders. Traversing across to your left opens up the steep straight runs of Exhibition and Escalator. Ohau is blessed with reliable snowfalls and the main trails are groomed regularly.
