Five Christmas gifts for people who would rather be on the mountain

Struggling to find the perfect gift for the mountain lover in your life? We’ve rounded up the top five gifts for people who call the slopes their second home. 

1) The ultimate Christmas gift: an Unlimited Season Pass 

From stocking filler to show-stopper. Have them unwrap a whole season at New Zealand’s biggest alpine playground. Unlimited access to Cardrona and Treble Cone. No blackout dates. Extra perks like a RealNZ Rewards Card for local adventures. Right now it’s Drop 2, so you can save $300 on full price.

We’ll even make it feel like Christmas-morning magic. When you gift an Unlimited Season Pass, you’ve got the choice to add a complimentary Christmas Card, gift certificate and gift with purchase – a free pair of socks or a Pengi keyring for the mini mountain fans.

Want to take the pressure off the wallet? Choose buy now, pay later to lock it in for just $100. Pay the deposit now and split the rest after Christmas in four equal chunks from January to April.

2) One voucher, all seasons. 

You pick the value, they pick the fun.

One gift, all the options: let them choose the winter or summer activity of their choice with our Gift Voucher. It’s the flexible, no-guessing option for the mountain person in your life.

3) Summer mountain carting 

Swap snow for summer and send them down our alpine trails on two or three wheels. Gravity, big views, and that “let’s go again” grin. Perfect for an off-season adrenaline and mountain fix. 

Set up their sunny lap → Cardrona Mountain Carting, Cardrona Mountain Biking 

4) The ride-day care package 

Build a kit that says “I’ve got you.” Thermos, SPF, lip balm, goggle wipe, pocket snacks, and hand warmers. Small things, massive day. Head to Cardrona Corner to build your kit.

5) Pengi to take home 

For the little legends who spend the season hunting Pengi around the mountain. Soft, huggable, and very proud of his scarf. Bedtime stories now come with alpine cred.
