We get it — finding the right setup isn’t always as chill as it sounds. Between techy specs, endless options, and your mate’s “trust me” advice, it can be hard to know what actually works. That’s where we come in. From first chairs at Cardies to spring slush laps at Turoa, we’ve helped thousands of Kiwi riders get kitted out properly.

To keep things simple, we’ve laid out the top reasons skiers and snowboarders keep coming back to BaseNZ — and why you’ll be stoked you chose us too.

Our crew rides – every season, without fail. Everyone who helps you at BaseNZ actually skis or boards, so you’re getting straight-up advice from locals who know their gear. Real recommendations, real knowledge, real snow time.

Got questions? Drop us a message online, or drop into one of our stores for a chat - we’re always keen to talk snow (even if it's just about the weather).

Every time you shop at BaseNZ, you’re stacking up Rider Rewards. For every $1 you spend, you earn 1 point - it’s that simple. Rack up points and unlock rewards like exclusive discounts, bonus gear, or even free upgrades on your next setup.

It’s our way of saying thanks for riding with us. And the more you ride (and shop), the better it gets. That next pair of skis or fresh snowboard? Could come with a little something extra, on us.

All skis and snowboards ship free from BaseNZ - no codes, no conditions, no guesswork. If it’s a board or a pair of planks, we’re covering the shipping.

Your gear gets packed up with care and sent fast, so it’s ready to ride when you are.

Live rural? Just a heads up - a small surcharge may apply for those harder-to-reach spots.*

When you buy full-price skis and bindings from us, we’ll mount them up for free in the BaseNZ Ultimate Workshop. No dodgy DIY, no extra costs - just pro-level setup from people who know what they’re doing.

Our lead tech, Raffs, has over 20 years of ski tuning and mounting experience. Every pair gets dialled in properly, aligned to your boot and binding specs, and sent out ready to shred.

Need stance advice or have specific requests? We’ve got you.

We don’t just stock everything - we stock the right things. From playful park boards to big-mountain chargers, beginner-friendly skis to touring setups that earn their turns, our range covers all styles, skill levels, and price points.

You’ll find the biggest international brands alongside smaller specialist labels that deserve the hype. Every model we bring in is chosen because it performs - not just in overseas tests, but right here on NZ snow.

Ski or board, pow or piste - we’ve got something for the way you ride.

Not all gear is built for New Zealand - but everything we sell has been picked because it handles our kind of terrain, temps, and snowpack. If it doesn’t ride well on Treble’s wind-buffed ridges, survive laps at Remarks, or hold up in Cardies’ off-piste - it doesn’t make the cut.

We ride what we sell. That means everything in our store has been put through its paces in real Kiwi conditions, by real riders. No guesswork, no gimmicks - just gear that delivers where it matters.
