Australia has none.
NZ currently has more than Australia on a bad year already. I'm kinda regretting booking falls for a week for similar money we could of gone to NZ. Oh well. |

For all those about to hit Wanaka this season, here's a few pics from the area up and around Snowpark yesterday.
Unfortunately we were given our marching orders from Cardrona, I'll try to get a few more pics up before season starts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Coronet opened on the 5th and the Remarkables opens on the 19th, pretty much everything else is the last week in June.

I've been checking the online cams and it's looking nice - but I'm hoping they get another decent sized dump in the next couple of weeks to build on what they've got. Ohau is only reporting a 50cm base, which doesn't seem anywhere near enough for that place.

Same. I'm actually getting a little concerned because I'm over there in just over a week - and without a fresh fall it'll mostly all be hard and icy.

I've heard it is normally cheaper to go to NZ. The fields around Queenstown and Wanaka are usually wall to wall Aussies :D You can't ride a chair without hearing a 'stralian accent. |

At least they're not as overrun by Aussies as Whistler or Big White in Canada.

Yeah, we're lucky. We've got the hot Brazilian girls in Queenstown. If it was just Aussies they'd all be fat loud sheilas

mt hutt should be getting some decent falls soon. i'm in QT atm. a bit dissapointed in the icy conditions and lack of snow at the remarkables. coronet peak is ok. its raining outside atm so hopefully some fresh tomorrow.

The heli skiing looks incredible. My mates went recently and apparently rich internationals are on standby and get preference if there's a big dump....
