About
Mount Lyford is a peak in the Amuri Range to the west of Kaikōura in the South Island of New Zealand. It is also the name of a ski area to the north of the peak, and an alpine village and ski resort to the south. The ski area is approximately 150 km (93 mi) by road north of Christchurch. The village and ski area are accessed via the Inland Kaikōura Road (SH70) between Culverden and Kaikōura that forms part of the Alpine Pacific Touring Route. The summit of Mount Lyford is at an elevation of 1,590 m (5, 220 ft), but the skifield has been extended to a field on the adjacent Mount Terako at 1,742 m (5, 715 ft).
