Hanmer Springs Ski Area
About
Hanmer Springs Ski Area in South Island runs a ski field on Mt St Patrick, with the slopes sitting above Hanmer Springs at 7334. The terrain rises on the mountain itself, placing the field within reach of the town below.

A 4.7 out of 5 average from 41 reviews marks it out among the smaller fields, and the tally points to steady approval from those who make the trip. First-time visitors should expect a compact club-style field on the mountain rather than a large commercial resort, with the skiing concentrated on the slopes above Hanmer Springs.
A website at http://www.skihanmer.co.nz/ provides further reference for the ski area.
Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, so reaching Hanmer Springs from Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim or Kaikoura is easiest by road.
