Really want to head to NZ in the next few weeks; does anyone have any suggestions? I have never even been there before, so not even sure which airport to fly to. Would be great to hear from some people who have skiied there alot. Yuh.
 
theres really only one difference...everything is upside down and backwards. it takes a little while to get used to spinning on the different axis but if you're really good and ambidextrous you should be fine.
 
Fly into Queenstown, then either stay there and ski Remarkables, or get a bus over to Wanaka and ski Cardrona/Treble Cone/Snow Park. Lots of hostels so accomodation is pretty cheap, Make sure you eat some pies, and do a bit of travelling around as well.
 
Fly into Christchurch

Get a connecting flight to Queenstown

Eat Fergburger

Ski at Remarkables (and possibly Coronet)

Get a bus to Wanaka

Ski at Treble Cone / Cardrona / Snowpark

And yeah, 2 or 3 people have died from head injuries so far this season, so a helmet might be nice.

I'd probably wait until we have another decent snowfall too
 
The most most important thing is to eat at fergburger frequently, everything else will fall into place if you follow this crucial advice.
 
this. and if you really wanted to explore all the slopes, come up to north island and ski ruapehu. its no way as good as south island skiing, but its aight
 
shit, i think i saw one last year in September. it was a little girl who was wayy out of control and couln't stop, ran straight into the supporting post for a balcony at mount hut and just didn't move, pretty fucked up.
 
If you like rocky icy steep skiing, Whakapapa on the north island is sick. The Pinnacles is enough terrain to keep you busy for a little bit. There hasn't been much snow down here this year though. I'm going to be building the park here this winter so look for some way nicer jumps to apear when we get enough snow. I've spent a few weeks building some new rails and features for Fuckapapa. I'd give it a few more weeks before hitting up any part of NZ though.
 
Meh, Get in the back streets and eat mexican, and some thai food however its a tourist town so bring your credit card..
