About Ōhau
Ōhau Snow Fields sit on Mt Sutton in the Ōhau Range above Lake Ōhau, in the Mackenzie and Waitaki high country of the South Island. The slopes are treeless and open to the weather, so southerly storms can bring heavy snow while north-west winds strip it away. This Ōhau webcam shows the snow field, with earlier images on the same page.
Which Ōhau webcam to check first
Open the official camera for snow cover and cloud on the slopes. Drag the slider under the image to compare it with earlier pictures.
Before you go to Ōhau
Check the Ōhau snow report for opening days and road status before you drive, and carry chains on the access road. Lake Ohau Lodge is the nearest place to stay.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
