New Zealand a better alternative to boarding Aust?

doesnt cardrona have accomodation??

It is the only place in the whole inland and it get snow in or block of by rockfalls and snowdrifts a couple of time a year . When it dose it can take a week to get off the mountain.

There is coronet peak hotel as well, like 15 mins from the field

you can stay at snow park as well, theres accom at whatever the cross country course its next door as well, i cant remember its name but apparently its cheap.
I have friends who stay up at cadrona and if theres a big front coming leave their cars in the valley and get alift back up, that way you can ride down to them if you want to leave. having said that both times ive been over the roads in and out were closed for a few hours at the most.

I kinda forgot about this thread. Awesome advice!! Thanks guys, looks like I’ll be heading to NZ next year with the fam, but staying in Wanaka cos we get a special deal at one of the places there or something. Will have to spend some time in Queenstown with some mates I reckon, another thing to put on the to-do list.

Definitely NZ in 2050.
