智利安第斯山脉，Portillo雪场于6月20日正式开启2026雪季，瓦列内瓦多（Valle Nevado）于6月19日开启雪季，两大核心雪场依托安第斯山脉充沛自然降雪与完善雪道条件，承接北半球反季滑雪游客与青少年集训队伍。

澳大利亚Perisher雪场于6月6日开启2026雪季，Falls Creek、Hotham等核心雪场也于6月上旬陆续开放，全业态运营分阶段覆盖。新西兰皇后镇区域，Coronet Peak于5月29日提前开启雪季，皇后镇系列雪场普遍于6月中下旬全面开放，南半球滑雪市场进入全年最活跃周期。

与此同时，北半球北美落基山脉迎来夏季滑雪窗口期，加拿大班夫阳光度假村（Banff Sunshine Village）凭借创纪录的丰厚积雪，于6月20日至7月5日限时开放16天夏季高山滑雪，为北半球滑雪爱好者提供反季滑行机会。

一南一北错峰供给叠加全球室内恒温冰雪场馆全年运营，印证全球冰雪产业全年分区域轮动运营的成熟格局，跨半球反季滑雪、高海拔冰川夏季训练、室内常态化娱雪三大业态共同对冲单区域季节性短板，成为支撑全球冰雪产业稳定增长的核心模式。

总体来看，南半球滑雪市场主要集中在智利、阿根廷（安第斯山脉）、澳大利亚、新西兰（皇后镇）等地区，但雪场数量和规模远小于北半球（阿尔卑斯、北美、日本、中国等），但一南一北错峰供给叠加全球室内恒温冰雪场馆全年运营，使全球滑雪爱好者全年均有可滑之地。

跨半球反季滑雪也为专业集训队伍提供训练窗口，高海拔冰川夏季训练、室内常态化娱雪则分别面向竞技体育与大众娱乐市场。南北滑雪业态可共同缓释区域季节性波动，助力全球冰雪产业全年可持续运营。

Ice & Snow Headlines (WeChat ID: bingxuetoutiao)：Staggered ski seasons have formed across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, allowing ski enthusiasts to enjoy skiing all year round around the globe.

Staggered Ski Seasons Worldwide for Non-Stop Skiing All Year

Source: Ice & Snow Headlines (WeChat ID: bingxuetoutiao)A staggered operational landscape has taken shape across the global northern and southern hemisphere ski markets, with Chile, New Zealand and Australia simultaneously entering their winter ski seasons and ski resorts across the Southern Hemisphere opening in succession.

Located in the Andes Mountains, Portillo Ski Resort kicked off its 2026 ski season on June 20, while Valle Nevado launched its winter operation on June 19. Benefiting from abundant natural snowfall and well-developed piste infrastructure in the Andes, these two flagship resorts cater to cross-hemisphere recreational skiers and youth athletic training teams from the Northern Hemisphere.

Perisher Ski Resort in Australia opened its 2026 season on June 6, followed by core resorts including Falls Creek and Mount Hotham in early June with phased full-service rollouts. In the Queenstown region of New Zealand, Coronet Peak launched its winter operation ahead of schedule on May 29, and all major Queenstown ski destinations fully opened by mid-to-late June, marking the peak operating cycle for the Southern Hemisphere ski industry.

Meanwhile, ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains of the Northern Hemisphere have entered a limited summer skiing window. Fueled by record-breaking snow accumulation, Banff Sunshine Village will launch a 16-day limited summer alpine skiing operation from June 20 to July 5, offering off-season skiing opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts in the Northern Hemisphere.

Staggered supply between the two hemispheres, paired with year-round operation of indoor constant-temperature ice & snow venues worldwide, validates the mature regional rotational operation model of the global ice and snow industry. Three core business formats — cross-hemisphere off-season skiing, high-altitude glacier summer training, and year-round indoor recreational snow activities — jointly offset seasonal operational bottlenecks of individual regions, serving as the core growth engine sustaining steady expansion of the global ice and snow economy.

Overall, the Southern Hemisphere ski market is primarily concentrated in the Andes range spanning Chile and Argentina, plus Australia and New Zealand’s Queenstown cluster. Nevertheless, the quantity and scale of its ski resorts lag far behind the Northern Hemisphere’s core ski regions, including the European Alps, North America, Japan and China. Even so, staggered seasonal supply between the two hemispheres, complemented by globally distributed indoor constant-temperature snow facilities, ensures ski enthusiasts worldwide have accessible skiing destinations all year round.

Cross-hemisphere off-season skiing provides exclusive training windows for professional athletic teams, while high-altitude glacier summer training and year-round indoor snow entertainment target competitive sports and mass recreational markets respectively. Coordinated northern and southern ski sectors effectively mitigate seasonal passenger volatility across individual regions, enabling sustainable year-round operation of the global ice and snow industry.
