Craigieburn Valley

 

Tucked in a tight valley between Porters and Arthurs Pass, Craigieburn Valley is a skier's paradise – steep chutes, long basins, no crowds, and nothing is groomed. On a powder day, it’s like heli-skiing – the rope tow is your chopper. Nearly every day ends feeling stuffed but very satisfied.
