A person has been moderately hurt after an incident at Coronet Peak skifield near Queenstown.
A St John spokesperson said an ambulance was notified just before 1.30pm today and a helicopter sent to the scene to transport one patient to Dunedin Hospital in a moderate condition.
A spokeswoman for NZSki said the company was unable to comment on the incident for privacy reasons, but chief executive Paul Anderson said "it's not unusual" for a medical team to decide it was better to put a guest with an injury in a helicopter rather than an ambulance.
