First Tracks

The Rundown

What is it? Early access (8 - 9am) to the Nor'West Express and Summit Six chairlifts. Fresh cord, no crowds, sunrise vibes.

When is it on? Weekends only from July – weather and snow dependent. Check the Snow Report before heading up.

How do I get it? Add it to your lift pass when booking online or grab it at Guest Services. Available as an add-on to your Season Pass or Day Pass.

Why bother? Because first lines hit different. It’s the best snow, the best light, and the best way to start your day at Hutt.

When to head up? It’s the hour of power - so make sure you’re slope side and ready to shred with your First Tracks Pass loaded to your MyPass card. Swing by Guest Services early if you haven’t got it loaded up.

Top Tip: The snow report is normally updated at 6:30am every morning.

Where can I ski?
First Tracks Terrain
Summit Six and Nor’West Express. That’s where the early birds head.
With two lifts spinning for First Tracks, you’ve got proper choice. Summit Six dishes up wide-open bowls, rolling faces and long, leg-burning laps from the top. Fresh corduroy, big Canterbury views and space to really let the skis run. Too good.

Over on Nor’West Express, it’s all about sweeping groomers and playful rollers, perfect for finding your rhythm while the rest of the mountain’s still waking up.

Top Tip: Collect your MyPass Card at our kiosks or stop by Guest Services before visiting the Rentals team.
