FAQ’s
What if I don’t want to share?
If you are a Single Only Driver (SOD) you may be directed to a lower car park
but will still have perfectly good access to the base facilities.
What if I’m off to ski First Tracks and there’s no-one at the ride share zone?
No problem, we won’t instigate the lower car park policy until after
8.30am by which time you will have already parked and eaten all the fresh
tracks.
Why doesn’t NZSki run shuttle services from town?
NZSki existing bus companies do offer paid for shuttle services and they are doing a great job of providing a stress free way to get up the mountain. We highly recommmend it.We are simply trying to encourage less cars to take the trip up and down the mountain by rewarding the rideshare principles of more people per car.
How will I get from the lower car parks to the base building if I come alone?
We run regular shuttles from the lower car parks to the base building. Overall it means that more people can access the base building using less fuel - a good mission don’t you think?
