The field is so close to queenstown and it’s very accessible. It’s a bit icy but the night ski is very good. There are lots of options for runs.

This was one of my favorite resorts down south in NewZealand, with the long slopes and heaps of fun off piste skiing.

Great if you want to escape the big crowds and have no queue lines.
