PARTIES AND EVENTS

Snow Machine has a stack of activities to keep your adrenaline rush going between sets and ski runs. You may even find yourself skiing alongside one of your favourite acts from the line up or bumping into a DJ at brunch. Anything is possible!

The official Welcome Party at AJ Hackett Bungy Kawarau Bridge is back to kick off your Snow Machine experience. Dance the night away to DJ sets from Snow Machine artists as you watch your friends and fellow Snow Machinists take a bungy leap of faith, or better yet, sign yourself up and tick it off the bucketlist.

Brave the cold for the 4th annual Polar Bare – a World Record setting challenge to get the largest number of people heading down the slopes in their swimwear. Each year, a huge contingent ditch the layers to ski down the Remarkables, so throw on your best boardies, bikinis, speedos and swimsuits and join us to make history in the funnest way possible.

Be sure to say howdy and join us for Cowboys and Cowgirls on the Snow as you take to the slopes in your finest chaps and 10 gallon hat, or get that extra adrenaline rush under the stars at the Night Ski Party.

Get frocked up and fabulous at the Poof Doof Drag Brunch with special guest hostesses and DJ sets, soundtracking your morning eggs, mimosas and more!

This is just the beginning! Snow Machine is taking over Queenstown with a snow plow worth of afterparties (where your artists favourite artist might just do a surprise set!) and plenty of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
