Haven’t done it yet man. Looking at doing it in August. Got a chopper up Fox Glacier last August and hiked around, went into some caves etc, that was awesome! Looking at doing heliski trip this August. Hopefully weather works out.
Heading over in 11 days 10 days for a quick trip with the fiance to do the Kepler Track (4 day hike) near Te Anau. Hopefully it stops raining long enough to get some good photos, weather has been rubbish!

+ Jetstar
Thanks for the input guys.
I’m told that there’s no direct flight from Singapore to Christchurch so I initially thought that flying off to Sydney first would be a good thing before I head off to Queenstown. I’ve looked into the matter further and I found that the transit times are bad and there’s also another option that requires I fly to Auckland first then take a local Jetstar flight to Queenstown.
I’ll have to come up with a price comparison latter to see which seems more economical. I might even have to drive all the way from Auckland to Queenstown to fit the budget unfortunately.
Is it extremely wishful thinking to sneak a snow trip across at the end of October? Getting married and thought a sneaky nz honeymoon might result in some snow!
Not sure if the snow conditions will agree?????
Not sure of the exact dates but the NZ season typically runs later than ours so you might be lucky!
Queenstown is a great destination for a honeymoon even out of ski season - i say do it and hope you get lucky
And starts earlier than ours aswell it seems.
Taken from Fyves facey. Coronet Peak Today. 15cms of fresh
Wow thats awesome (but typically the resorts open late June)
Possible signs of a good winter?! Fingers crossed!
I cannot wait for my NZ trip - only 88 days to go boooooo
59 days until my NZ adventure!
Not expecting much in the way of snow that early but wouldn’t knock back a big start to make use of the TC passes.
Might need to consider looking into where I’m actually going to drive/stop/sleep at some stage.
