Locally owned and operated
Roundhill is owned by Tekapo locals the Rieder family, they grew up skiing at Roundhill and have created a ski field with Mum, Dad, and the kids in mind. It’s a very relaxed, social, family atmosphere – you’ll meet like-minded people who are only too happy to have a yarn about the day and the spectacular environment surrounding you.
Everyone enjoys their skiing together – it’s the kind of place you make friends for life.
Lifts
We have a huge beginners’ area with a gentle gradient and plenty of space, the beginners’ area features 3 surface lifts – a platter and 2 rope tows so you learn to ski on the way up and on the way down! This makes for a fun and easy way to find your feet in the snow.
Our two T-Bars give access to plenty of super wide, perfectly groomed intermediate trails with lots of natural dips and curves.
For the more adventurous, head up the world’s longest and steepest rope tow and see what Australasia’s biggest vertical drop (783m) is all about. Offering super long natural half-pipes and chutes this is skiing and riding at its best.

Snowmaking
Our snowmaking system spans the beginners’ area and the trails adjacent to the T1 T-Bar, so we can get plenty of snow on the ground whenever Mother Nature needs a helping hand.
Grooming
We have a fleet of snow grooming machines that are busy working through the night to ensure our main trails have a smooth corduroy finish for you in the morning. We have over 10km of groomable terrain so if you’re looking for some nice fresh cord to carve we’ve got it.
