Notes
Today, it is recommended that you visit the Snow Centre located on the ground floor of the Station Building at 9 Duke St and collect your MyPass card. This will save you lots of time tomorrow as you’ll avoid the morning queues and can head straight to the mountain with more time to ski and ride.
When you visit the Snow Centre, please take your itinerary with you as the Snow Centre staff will need the reference number off this. You will need to pay a $5 refundable deposit for each MyPass card and each person in your group receives their own card. All your lift passes, rental equipment, lessons, shuttle transfers and more will be loaded onto your card.
If you’re taking the Snowline Hotel Pick-up shuttle to the mountain tomorrow you can also book this at the Snow Centre.
Today, it is recommended that you visit the Browns Ski Rental Shop located right in the centre of town at 4 Brecon St, Queenstown.
This will enable you to have your ski gear fitted and ready for your first day up on the slopes.
