Queenstown welcomes an influx of travellers from mid-June to late September every year all in search for the perfect powdered run our little resort town has become so well known for.

No matter your skill or fitness level our local slopes have plenty of terrain for all abilities. If you consider yourself a bit of a snow sport pro-athlete we also have great Heli skiing conditions with our local operator’s privy to a multitude of surrounding mountain ranges.
