About Southern Line
A small ski and snowboard shop on Hardy Street, Nelson.
Started by locals who ride
We opened in 2018 because Nelson riders were driving to Christchurch or buying online and hoping it fit. Now you can try it on here, or order online and have it at your door in a couple of days.
Everything we sell is chosen for South Island conditions: wet snow, wind on the ridgelines and long drives up the access road. If it doesn’t stand up to a season at Rainbow, we don’t stock it.
Come in for a chat about what to wear, get your board waxed, or just to talk about the conditions.
