About Canterbury and Mount Hutt Area

The Canterbury Region includes a large central portion of the east coast of the South Island, centred around the city of Christchurch.

From the silvery beaches of the east coast to the jagged peaks of the Southern Alps, the Canterbury landscape is impossible to ignore. Big scenery is the order of the day—huge panoramas of ocean or mountains, great sweeps of pastureland, massive amounts of sky.

Methven and Mount Hutt – Just one hour's drive from Christchurch and a stone's throw from the friendly country town of Methven, Mount Hutt's village.

Spending time out in this region means being in the outdoors. There's no shortage of scenic walks and nature tours. Try the geological intriguing Rakaia Gorge Walkway or for something more challenging head for the Aoraki/Mount Somers Conservation Area and one of New Zealand's top ten walkways—the Aoraki/Mount Somers Track.

In 1969 the Methven Lions Club favoured the development of the wide south basin on Mount Hutt as a ski area. Peter Yeoman, a Christchurch business man and civil engineer, took up their idea and in 1972 the Mount Hutt Ski Field Development Company was launched.

The road to the ski field was built about 5,600 feet above sea level and is known as "Hood Highway", after Doug Hood the Ashburton road contractor. Willie Huber spent the winter of 1972 in a chalet in the middle of the basin collecting critical data. In 1973 the skiers came.
