We've done the campervan thing and skiing. But without kids. The campervan thing is really easy and there are plenty of places that are clean and safe. But I don't know abt taking them up the ski resorts though. The few we've been (south island), I've seen too many of those getting stuck or really struggling to manoeuvre around the tight corners. But awesome places to go.
Good point about the campervan and the ski fields. The South Island ones are a bit hairy and I wouldn't want to be driving a camper up them. You could probably get away with it on the North Island one because it is normal road all the way to the car park but depending on weather you sometimes need 4wd or chains. But there are shuttles that go up to the mountain, so it isn't that much of an issue.
