Brown Bear
Brown Bear has a history of helping snow-seekers get out there and enjoy the best of skiing and snowboarding in New Zealand. With our Brown Bear Ski website and our pocket-sized print guide, Brown Bear is THE resource on skiing and snowboarding in New Zealand. No self-respecting skier or rider should take to the slopes without first checking in with Brown Bear.
Don’t just take our word for it! Lonely Planet New Zealand even wrote about Brown Bear in their 2008 edition: “The NZ Ski & Snowboard Guide, published annually by Brown Bear, is a brilliant reference for powder-hounds” (not that we like to brag!).
Brown Bear also recognises that ski season isn’t just about the slopes, so we have suggested a few activities to enjoy while you’re not up the mountains, from adventure to relaxation, après ski and off-slope activities as well as accommodation options, from budget hostels to luxurious apartments.
We also produce Brown Bear Indulge – a guide to restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, hair stylists and day spas. Look for your copy at New Zealand i-SITE Visitor Information Centres and selected retail shops, restaurants and accommodation providers, or order online.
