  • About Us - Snowbiz

    Welcome to Snowbiz! We’re your spot for ski and snowboard rentals in Queenstown, located in the Station Building, right in the CBD next to the NZSki Snow Centre. Easy to find, with parking out front and buses to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables leaving from our door.

    Who We Are

    I’ve been in the ski industry since 1986, and I started Snowbiz in 2003 to get people geared up with solid ski, snowboard, boot, and clothing rentals. I love making things happen for folks—whether it’s sorting the right equipment or helping you hit the slopes stoked. My obsession with snow kicked off on a school trip from Southland to Queenstown’s mountains. I’ve skied all over, but Queenstown’s peaks and the village are hard to beat.

    A Couple of My Ski Trips

    • Kashmir: Skied there years ago—crazy place. Deep snow, monkeys in the trees, and the odd missile flying by from the Pakistan border. Lived at 8,000 feet, skied to the valley, and got hauled back in old Suzuki jeeps.

    • Austrian Alps: Went for work, stayed for the epic snow. Awesome resorts, great après-ski, and those mountains are something else. Can’t wait to go back.

    Why Snowbiz?

    We get that skiing and snowboarding are all about having an adventure in the mountains. Whether you’re new or a pro, we’ve got gear that’s ready to roll:

    • Quality Gear: Skis and boards are sharpened, waxed, and tuned in our on-site workshop before every rental.

    • Custom Fits: We are leaning hard into technology and automated systems with the latest in rental software and the Boot Doc Erwin 3d foot scanner. We make sure your gear feels right.

    • Deals & Passes: Save some cash with our lift and rental packages.

    • Solid Team: Our crew knows their stuff and is here to help.

    Swing by Snowbiz, grab your gear, and let’s make your day on the mountain a good one. We keep our equipment fresh and our service sharp so you can focus on the snow.

We work hard to bring you the best models of ski and snowboard gear for rent in Queenstown. Our on-going fleet replacement programme and highly trained staff will help to ensure you enjoy every day on the slopes to the full.

"Great service, very efficient and gear worked well".
