Snowplanet, one of Auckland’s leading tourist destinations, will reopen today April 13 after undergoing over 5 months of major refurbishments.
Snowplanet Sales and Marketing general manager John Howsam says “We really wanted to be open again in time for the April school holidays. And I’m pleased to say we stayed on track, despite the extreme weather events that hit the region earlier this year.”
Bookings are open for the second week of the school holidays and John is pleased to say that they’re filling up fast.
“A lot of Aucklanders have been waiting for the slopes to reopen so they can fine tune their skiing and snowboarding skills, or just have fun in the snow.”
A major aspect of the refurbishment work, which started in October 2022, was replacing the roof. John says this was “no mean feat for a facility that covers over 8000 square metres”.
In addition to snow-covered slopes for skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing, the park also has a shop, a spacious restaurant and separate rooms for parties and corporate events.
“There’s plenty to enjoy, even if you’ve never skied before.” says John.
