better, but still not guaranteed anything. I wouldn’t guarantee anything worth riding particularly until late july.

but it sounds like you might be trying to squeeze it in to uni holidays?

you should be fine with late july to early august. A trip of say 24th-5th you would be sweet. (Roughly first 1 or 2 weeks of uni)

HEY GUYS, I’m back lol. Disapeared because of summer as always lol.

Anywho thanks for the info, we are also looking at going late july, The tip about waiting for sales is a great idea. i was thinking about going through a travel agent but they where asking 9k for 4 people for 14 days with 10days boarding. I thought that was a bit steap (or is it?).

Anywho thanks for all the advise :D. i think i’ll just do it myself.

if you do it on the cheap and take some of my advice, you can easily do 2 weeks for about 1500 each.

what is this shred you speak of? I’ll be in NZ 2nd Aug to 14th Aug. Flying into Christchurch and making my way down to QT, will be in QT 7th Aug.

Also, Jetstar currently have some really cheap flights Gold Coast - Christchurch if anyone is in that area.
Might be worth checking out for other cities as well.

 

Hi friends,
          The entire area is blessed with snow capped mountains, making for the perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding.  Queenstown ski field, Cardrona ski field, Alpine heli-ski, there is plenty of fun to be had for everyone.

Patrick, as much as I like the scenery around NZ it’s no guarantee of great snow, it can and does get worse than Oz on a routine basis!

Search for the Official Shred posts, big contingent of BW members go down and all ride together for a week, I was sort of present for the last one, only really for the riding, I was staying off snow in Jindy so missed the party action but it’s well worth going eh!
