SOHO SKI AREA
PUBLIC ACCESS

The Soho Basin ski area is located on Crown estate which is leased to Soho Property Limited. In turn, Soho Ski Area Limited (“SSAL”) holds a Crown Recreation Permit over the Soho ski area. SSAL is responsible for guests and invitees to the area.

SSAL does not wish to exclude public access to the Soho ski area at this time. However, any members of the public accessing Soho ski area must assume full responsibility and liability for their presence, and for any consequential outcomes that may arise as a result of such presence in the area.

Therefore, all parties who wish to access Soho Ski Area must complete a registration and assumption of risk and liability form and return to us by email to simon@sohobasin.co.nz.

Please note we require one registration form per person per season. This form can be downloaded here:

Recognise that SSAL’s use of the area holds priority over members of the general public and act accordingly. Do not poach lines, do not stop or congregate at the snowcat pick-up points, and please follow safe backcountry travel practices.

Never travel alone, be prepared and carry appropriate equipment such as an avalanche beacon, probe and shovel.

We trust that the touring community, individually and collectively, will observe these rules in order to preserve the public access to Soho ski area. Thank you.
