Ohau


42km south of Twizel on Highway 8 is the turn off to Lake Ohau. From the turn off there is a 20km sealed road to, and around the lake to the ski field access road. The alpine road is a 10km unsealed road to the car park. The Lake Ohau Lodge at the base of the access road, on the shores of Lake Ohau is well worth a stay. It is a great stop over half way between Christchurch and Queenstown.

Description:

The beginners area and the Boulevard, which runs the length of the field, supply beginners with ample terrain on an otherwise steeper field. The vertical rise on the chairlift is 345 m and the length 920 m. It gives access to a variety of terrain from wide open intermediate slopes to extreme shutes.
