That’s 450 for a 21 yr old red p player, I forgot to ad.

Information that would have been useful YESTERDAY! wink

 

Sorry as a 21yo you may not get that reference!

and therefore what does that mean kids? . . . it will be cheaper for a full licensed driver, but anyway that’s just what I came across from a lot of researching. NZ is a great place to go, Cardrona being my main pick over there

Completely agree with this statement. Nothing beats TC on a powder day.

You’ve obviously never ridden Whakapapa on a powder day. Nothing beats Whakapapa on a powder day.

I don’t know about that! I have never ridden Japan, but I would give up a week of Canadian Pow for one day of Pow at Whaka’s!

You’re right, Whakapapa’s all kinds of awesome. - but of New Zealand’s commercial resorts, it’s Ohau at #1, Whakapapa at #2, Turoa at #3 and Treble Cone at #4. However, in this instance, the top 3 are a bit too much of a drive from Wanaka.

Ohau’s definitely worth the drive, though. My (weekday) tip from Wanaka would be riding TC on a pow day, then getting up really early the next day and hiking the crap out of the ridge (and further) at Ohau.
