Kia Ora, my name’s Cara.
We are a small charter company based in North Canterbury, New Zealand. We specialize in transporting groups of up to 22 people to three amazing ski fields located across Canterbury. We have amazing prices, we are very skilled and friendly operators, and we pick you and your group up at your door, so you don’t have to come to us!
We are also working on some pretty cool summer time adventures which will be available really soon, so bookmark us and watch this space! You can also follow us on face book by scrolling down to the bottom of this page and clicking on the fb link!
WIN A FREE SKI TRIP WHEN YOU BOOK BEFORE THE 1ST OF JULY 2026!
You know what they say — the early bird gets the worm… or in this case, the free ski trip!
Lock in your booking and pay online before the 1st of July, and your crew goes in the draw to WIN a free ski mission to any Canterbury maunga you choose — Mt Hutt, Mt Lyford, or Porters Heights.
An epic deal for your mahi whānau, your study mates, or your weekend adventure crew. Get in early and save yourself some serious coin!
Ngā Tikanga / Conditions:
One free trip (prize) is drawn each year.
Prize must be used within the current ski season — no carrying it over.
Prize can’t be sold, swapped, or passed on to another rōpū/group.
Flexible dates! If the weather turns a bit koretake (dodgy) on your chosen day and the mountain’s still open but you’d rather wait for a primo bluebird day, we’ll shift your booking at no extra cost — subject to availability.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We had a great trip from Christchurch to Mt Hutt with Cara. She was super helpful arranging our last-minute booking, and the service was excellent value for money.
Cara was friendly and understanding, especially with our kids, and she kindly waited while we finished dinner without rushing us. She also shared local knowledge with plenty of fun and humor, making the ride enjoyable for everyone.
Highly recommend!” - Kasun Gamage⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ " Our family took snow express up to Mt hutt for a family snow day. We had a super smooth and comfortable ride including my 22 month old. Great sites, safe ride and super friendly and helpful! Will definitely use again when we visit. - Kyl Betteridge
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Amazing experience in Mt Hutt. We booked the Snow Express, and Cara was very accommodating. She is a reliable and careful driver. Taking the Snow Express was a great decision on our part. We highly recommend it. – Sheena David
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Amazing service, beautiful scenery.” - Ben Parkes⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great lift up and down, super nice and a great person to chat to up and down the hill.” - Will Bint
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Highly recommend using the snow express to be taken up to the majestic snow fields of North Canterbury, New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoyed being chauffeured by Cara, who was very sociable, welcoming and fun. Even enjoyed having a ski with her on the mountain! I had upmost faith in her driving skills to get us up and down Mt Lyford (somewhat scary at times) access road, which she negotiated expertly! Thank you for the opportunity to ski the enjoyable family run Mt Lyford ski field, I had a thoroughly wonderful day for my birthday. I even enjoyed a relaxing snooze on the way back lol. Will definitely call upon her great service when I am wanting to go back up to the snow fields again, as it sure is more relaxing and enjoyable than driving myself from Oxford. :)))))).” - Mandy Wheen
