Snow Splash! As the peak winter conditions kick in, its time to head up to the massive Mt. Naeba for this annual winter music festival. Powder inna day, louder inna night - Snow Splash brings an amazing lineup of local and international performers out each year - groovy music, great food and drinks and loads of entertainment right through to sunrise. Past Snow Splash performers have included Kora (NZ), Shapeshifter (NZ), EKD and more. Combined with awesome local acts, Snow Splash is one snow party thats not to be missed!

Partying at Snow Splash

The Mt. Naeba Area is made up of five large resorts and with over 30 ski lifts and three gondolas you can easily spend a week here and still not explore all the whole area. Mount Naeba offers a huge variety of different runs and courses, with excellent snow conditions throughout the winter season.

Huge variety of runs at Mt. Naeba

Kagura, a large part of the Mt. Naeba Area, is famous for its huge dumps of powder. Kagura has many runs that are perfect for beginners and intermediate riders and is a great place to start learning how to ride / ski in powder snow conditions. The Dragondola ride over to Kagura is in itself a fun way to take in some of the amazing scenery of the area.

On the way to hit the slopes!

Our hotel for the trip is located approx. a 7 minute walk from the lifts and also offers a free shuttle bus service if you dont feel like walking. The hotel also features a bar with two billiard tables so you can challenge your friends to a game after hitting the slopes. There are also two great outdoor hotsprings located within five minutes walk from our hotel - perfect for a soak after coming off the mountain!

Cant wait for Snow Splash Naeba!!!
