Awakino Ski Area
About
On South Island, Awakino Ski Area sits at Kurow 9435, a sports centre with its own website at skiawakino.com. The venue is known for its skiing, and first-time visitors can expect a day on the slopes rather than a resort-style village. Visitors rate it 4.9 out of 5 from 10 reviews, a strong showing for a small operation.
Reaching the venue from the main resorts and towns is a drive, since Kurow lies inland from the coast and the nearest larger centres are Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown, Wanaka, Nelson, Blenheim, Te Anau and Kaikoura. The route suits travellers with a hire car rather than public transport.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so snow sports fall in the middle of the year. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude.
