Mount Hutt

[2] The mountain is home to a commercial alpine ski area offering 3.65 square kilometres of skiable terrain and a vertical of 683 metres.

The most advanced runs on the mountain are through the rock formations at the top of the field known as "The Towers", and the South Face.

Mount Hutt prides itself on being the first ski field in the Southern Hemisphere to open at the beginning of each season.

On 12 August 2010, winds of up to 200 km/h struck the ski area, resulting in its closure along with the access road, and stranding 1200 people on the mountain overnight, where they were accommodated in the ski-field's base buildings.

[6] In 2020, the Zionist Federation of New Zealand lobbied the ski-field to remove a commemorative plaque to one of its founders, Willi Huber, a former member of the Waffen-SS.
