Situated within Mt Aspiring National Park the region features long, glaciated runs set against the stunning back drop of Mt Aspiring. Our longest run in the region, Headlong Spur is just over 1200m of vertical drop from a landing at 8000ft – that’s a lot of turns. In spring, the north facing slopes of the Isobel Glacier provide epic corn skiing.
