Winter fast approaching as developments continue at The Remarkables ski area
The new Remarkables ski area base building high above Queenstown will be a world-class facility, reflecting its environment while offering ski area visitors the best possible experience on the snow.
New images released today show a striking building designed by Michael Wyatt, one of New Zealand’s leading architects.
Featuring strong angles and high peaks, wraparound decks and panoramic views, it will not only welcome visitors to The Remarkables, but sets a benchmark for ski area design and functionality.
The multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art building is designed to make a day at The Remarkables easy for skiers and boarders with improved restaurant, ticketing, rentals and retail, and easier access to the Curvey Basin lift which opened last year accessing new and improved trails.
“It’s a stunning-looking building that reflects its dramatic alpine location,” said NZSki CEO Paul Anderson.
“The services on the ground floor are all designed to make it quick and easy to buy tickets, collect rental equipment and get on snow – we’ve really focused on making it easy for our guests to get what they need and start enjoying their day.
“The top floor, which features a stunning 10m high glass frontage, is where you will find the café and restaurant with seating for more than 700 inside and another 400 outside.”
Expansive decks open up directly onto the learners’ area and continue around the building, offering sweeping views of the Wakatipu Basin and the Southern Alps.
“We’re starting to see the building taking shape which is hugely exciting for all of us, and the staff can’t wait to get in there and welcome our first guests,” said Mr Anderson.
For those wanting the best deal for lift passes this winter, the sales period for Early Bird season passes for Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt is drawing to a close, with passes only available until this Thursday
