We’ve been a family run ski and snowboard specialist store for over 36 years, and we strive to be the leading ski and snowboard store in NZ. Our story started in 1982 with a passionate mountain man named Woody, in his small ski workshop in Parnell. Originally Woody’s Ski and Surf in Parnell, in 1993 Woody’s became Snowcentre when Neil Hunt purchased the business. Neil focused on providing a comprehensive year round snow store, because Kiwi’s travel the world for snow. We have snow gear for all budget ranges and all levels of skier or snowboarder.   It’s the people at the heart of Snowcentre that have made the difference. Our full time and internationally experienced team of dedicated and passionate skiers and snowboarders work together to ensure everyone has the best experience possible on the snow. Come in for a chat and share your skiing and snowboarding passion with us.

Fundraising on Trade Me since 2010, Maudes sells thousands of items donated by the community every year to raise money for the Nurse Maude Hospice in Christchurch.  Those items include antiques and collectables, books,homeware and home décor items; in fact almost everything from the downright weird to the truly wonderful.  The generosity of our donors knows no bounds and without their support, and the support of those who buy from us, we simply would not exist.  The Nurse Maude Hospice provides end of life care and support free of charge to patients and their families.  On their behalf, and on behalf of those who care for them, our heartfelt thanks. Customer Promise In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “well done is better than well said.” Our staff and volunteers pride themselves in accurate descriptions and excellent customer service.  If there’s ever an issue we’ll turn cartwheels in our efforts to resolve it.
