It's only four months till we're back up on the hill and we can't wait, it's going to be an epic season.

In addition to our exciting early bird Season Pass offer we have more news about what's in store for Mt Hutt this winter.

On the mountain we've got heavy machinery out and about creating new trails and terrain parks. A fantastic new beginner trail down from the top of the Quad chair will provide great transitional terrain for guests who have mastered Highway 72 but are not quite ready to progress onto a blue run. Broadway will be getting a lot wider at the top as we relocate the terrain park jump line to skiers right of Lex's way. A widened V-Mile trail will lead to a new groomed black run "Hydroslide" out to the skiers left of Platter Splatter.
Snow making also gets a boost with two new, powerful fan guns joining our existing arsenal along with more fully-automated lances on Fascination.

We haven't forgotten about safety either with seven more barriers and widening of the access road together with terrain and fencing improvements at the exit of International.

Kitchen upgrades and extensions will help us deliver an improved food offering with faster speed of service and the Hutt management team have been working especially hard over the summer selecting the perfect wines to complement the tasty new menus we have planned for 2016.

Cheers,
The Team at Mt Hutt 

Carnivorous Plant Society
Sat 20 Feb, 7.30pm,

Carnivorous Plant Society will be our introduction to a new initiative at ATEC:  “Open Hat Night”

The ‘Open Hat Night’  provides an opportunity to experience a live performance in our venue at a price you believe is “value for money”. There will be no charge for tickets prior to the event. Instead, guests are encouraged to pay what they think the performance was worth to them, after the concert as finished.

Cinematic jazz music by an Auckland based quintet, with many more instruments, pedals and electronic devices than there are band members.

Led by trumpet and keyboard player Finn Scholes, Carnivorous Plant Society plays dramatic, original music: Mexican mariachi mixed with futuristic sci-fi space sounds and macabre, spine-chilling nuances inspired by Stephen King novels.

CPS also have a live visual element with animated projections that are guaranteed to melt your mind!

Seating by General Admission on first come, first serve basis on the night.
​
The doors and bar open at 6:30pm,  for the 7:30pm event.

How diverse is Ashburton?  If you attended the multi-cultural bite street event of East Street on Waitangi day you would have exposed yourself to a small number of Ashburton residents, their culture, food and entertainment.  What a great event.  Well done to the organisers.
