Craigieburn Valley Ski Area is a club skifield in the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island, about 104 km west from Christchurch.

[3] Catering only to intermediate and advanced skiers, it features a vertical range of 1308–1811 m, 400 Acres of skiable area and 3 fast rope tows, the first installed in 1949.

In 1954 a project was attempted to install a T-Bar lift, with components airdropped from an RNZAF Bristol Freighter, but the tow suffered from engineering problems after only one season.

There you can find hot food options and fresh coffee, and it is a warm spot to stop off with a great view of the ski area.

There is no grooming and the hiking and ski touring options are excellent, including Middle Basin, a 600m open bowl back to the access road.
