New Zealand

I just returned from two weeks traversing the South Island.  Has anyone ever gone there for some summer turns?  I visited a few of their snow fields in Central Otago and they looked like a lot of fun after a meter or two of sweet Antarctic powder falls.

Haven't been but know where I would look for info about a ski trip to New Zealand.

Here are a few examples of discussions Aussies have about skiing in NZ.  The first two are trip reports. The last thread is for planning a trip where groomers are of most interest.  Gives some idea of the logistics in terms of driving and renting skis.

I spent a semester at the University of Otago on the South Island. Great country. I'd like to get back there at some point. I want to live in Lake Wanaka for a year.

Oh, yeah, I skied Remarkables & Cardrona. Early season.

I'd live in Wanaka for life.

Funny, I tried driving to Remarkable on my way through q-town to Twizel.  Once I hit 1200 meters and the road turned to dirt, my wife made me turn around.  I can't believe people drive that in the winter.  

Last summer I passed on an opportunity to go to the Snow Farm.  I was offered a sweet deal on lodging.  But the cost of airfare was, pun intended, sky high.

Still kicking myself.
