Phil Keoghan's Best-kept Secrets
Phil Keoghan, Kiwi host of US reality show "The Amazing Race"
is keen to share secrets from his home region with the rest of the
world, in hope that visitors will get to experience the best Christchurch
and Canterbury, and the surrounding
regions, have to offer.
Christchurch and Canterbury's Ski Areas
The access to 13 ski areas within the Christchurch and
Canterbury region (including 10 within a two hour drive of
Christchurch International Airport) is one of New Zealand's
best-kept secrets.
Mt Hutt is one of the largest ski
areas in New Zealand, with off-piste thrills and family-friendly
slopes. It's accessible yet uncrowded. It's not unusual, especially
midweek, to hop straight on the lift, without a wait at all. There
are few places in the world, with a snow record and terrain mix
like Mt Hutt's, where this is possible.
From Mt Hutt, visitors enjoy breathtaking views over the Canterbury Plains, across the Southern
Alps, to the Pacific Ocean.
