New Zealand,
with our reverse season to the Northern Hemisphere,
is well recognised as an international ski destination.
With a diverse range of options from commercial, Nordic
cross-country, club fields and heli-skiing, visitors
to New Zealand find the variety staggering, the terrain
spectacular, and the queues comparatively short.
Whether up north on the slopes of Mount
Ruapehu, or down south around Queenstown, Wanaka or
Mount Hutt, New Zealand can offer some of the finest
ski terrain in the world.
Most ski fields also offer awesome,
fast terrain for snowboarding, excellent natural and
man-made halfpipes, dedicated terrain parks, and some
of the most awesome off-piste powder snow around. Add
a dash of sunshine, and you're in heaven.
Those looking for a more extreme and
unique experience can’t go past heliskiing - the
combined thrill of flying by helicopter above and around
the grandeur of the Southern Alps, and then skiing/snowboarding
superb runs free from crowds. But don’t forget
to look around at the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand’s
Southern Alps.
At Aoraki/Mount Cook you can take a
flight up the amazing Tasman Glacier, then make your
own way down the stunning 10km run between the towering
peaks and ice falls of New Zealand's highest alpine
region. |
