Ōhau is a small commercial skifield in the foothills of New Zealand's Southern Alps, near the boundary between the Otago and Canterbury regions, and close to the western shore of the lake of the same name.

In 2008, a new 23-cannon, fully automated snowmaking system was installed, allowing the skifield to open earlier, capturing lucrative July school holiday business.

This was to be installed over the following summer in time for the 2013 season, giving visitors a secondary access to the peak.

This new chair lift has a claimed increased capacity of 1200 skiers and boarders per hour on a 4.5 minute trip.

From the skifield runs, Lake Ōhau and the Mackenzie Basin can be seen spread out below in the valley floor.
