Basenz Base NZ, Based in Wānaka and Queenstown 🏔️🇳🇿
Providing locals and visitors with a carefully curated selection of great gear from the best brands.

Keeping you geared up and ready to go across winter and summer seasons ❄️🌞 Join the fun of our 21st Winter in 2022 & be in to win $7000 worth of gear -- get in before June 30th: https://www.basenz.com/pages/21-years-giveaway

The BASENZ crew live, work and play in Wanaka. Passionate about freeride and freestyle skiing and snowboarding, we are out in the mountains that surround us riding every day.

All that riding pays off for you – you get the best advice on the latest outerwear, skis and snowboards, because we have tried and tested every product we sell. All that product testing — "it's a tough job " — means we believe in our products and our ability to get you the gear you need for the sort of riding you do. We believe in our gear and advice enough to give you the best ski and snowboard guarantee in the country. Oh and the other thing we are serious about is kitting you out to look good when you are telling people about your exploits on the hill. Street wear that turns heads is a big part of what we do because you can’t be riding all the time... Shame. Our team all love what they do and everyone contributes to what makes BASE great. We hope that we can share a little of our experience and love for snow and street wear with you. Helping you make the most out of your life whether on the street or in the mountains...It's what we do! Contact us @

The Salomon Depart 2's 🔥

Chelsea is here to tell you about why she loves this ski and it's whole vibe.
From the free ride and self expresion side of Salomon's athlete team, we get this "do everything in a fun way" style of ski, made to go fast, have fun, jib the cat tracks and side hits and just generally enjoy yourslef whereever you point these things.
An epic addition to Salomon's line up for this season with some yet to be seen suprises as an added extra 😎
Come into the shop and speak to one of our staff about this sweet set of skis.

The Burton Counter Balance - in our humble opinion, one of the market's best all mountain snowboards in the game!

Emma is here to tell you a little about why she decided to pull the trigger on getting herself one of these epic, mid flex, directional boards for the 2026 winter season 🌞

Playful, stable, epic graphic options, great size range, surfy yet powerful - sounds pretty epic to us.

We want to Introduce you to the Wānaka Store Manager, Millie!

Millie is a true local born and raised and she's been the fearless leader managing Base NZ Wānaka for the last 7 years 🌞

She's stuck around because of the epic summers at the lake, snow on the doorstep, good people and that drive into town that never gets old. iykyk

Skiing since the age of 5 at Cardrona, she quickly graduated from the slopes to lunch trays down the hill above TC Café; a true Wānaka rite of passage.
When she's not keeping the store in order you'll find her chasing summer, at après, or margarita in hand 🍹
Come in and say hi to Millie! 🔥

WINTER 2026 WE ARE READY FOR YOU!

"Who we are" - This is a presentation we do before every winter season to educate our crew about the businesses they are employed by and to share our core values, expectations and give our staff a chance to all meet each other and hang out for an evening 🔥

We are stoked to be heading into the 2026 Winter with a significant number of returning crew from last season as well as a bunch of new faces joining us!

It wouldn't be right to finish some staff training without a round of fireball shot skis to help our team bond 🍻😈
