Mount Dobson
Mount Dobson is a ski resort on the South Island of New Zealand. It is located near Tekapo, and features a chair lift, a T-bar and a beginner's ski tow, serving 14 trails over an area of 400 hectares (990 acres). The resort caters primarily to skiers of intermediate ability, with a 1:2:1 ratio of beginner/intermediate/advanced slopes.
The resort is situated in a 3 km wide treeless bowl, facing south west between Fairlie and Tekapo. Other features include a natural half pipe, and groomed main trails. There is no accommodation at the resort, and visitors are directed to nearby Fairlie. The peak for which the ski field is named, officially Dobson Peak, rises to 2,095 metres (6,873 ft) just north of the ski field.
The ski field was put up for sale on the 22nd of October 2014.[1]
