Winter in Queenstown: Embrace the Snow and Adventure

As August unfolds in Queenstown, winter is in full effect, blanketing the region in a pristine layer of snow. The mountains are alive with the exhilarating thrill of skiing and snowboarding, making this the perfect time to dive into your winter adventure.

Queenstown's four major ski fields—The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Cardrona, and Treble Cone—are now open and offering a fantastic array of slopes and terrain. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to make the most of your first snow-filled experience, these ski fields cater to all skill levels with stunning vistas and world-class facilities.

The Remarkables, located just 20 minutes from Frankton, and Coronet Peak, a mere 15-minute drive from Arthur's Point, are ideal for quick day trips or early morning powder. For those seeking a bit more of a journey, Cardrona and Treble Cone offer breathtaking runs and are well worth the 50-minute to 1.5-hour drive from Queenstown.

To make the most of your winter escapades, having a reliable rental car is essential. At Evolve Rentals, we offer vehicles for hire that can be equipped with snow chains upon request. If you plan to drive up the mountain during the winter period, snow chains are advised and essential for safe driving in snowy conditions, so please be sure to add them to your booking.

With a car at your disposal, you can hit the mountains at your own pace, whether you’re chasing fresh tracks or heading back early for a relaxing evening. And when it comes to gearing up for the snow, we love to support local businesses. For all your ski and snowboard rental needs, we highly recommend JD Ski Rentals, where you can find top-quality equipment and personalized service.

Make your winter adventure in Queenstown unforgettable with the freedom and flexibility of a rental car. Book with Evolve Rentals today and get ready to enjoy the best of Queenstown’s snowy season
