Planning a New Zealand ski or snowboard holiday? New Zealand’s Southern Lakes region has been blanketed with snow.

The snowfall and consistent cold temperatures have turned Queenstown and its surrounding mountains into a ski traveler’s dream.

In the last week, two metres of fresh powder were dumped on the region including its ski fields – Coronet Peak , The Remarkables, Cardrona Alpine Resort, Snow Park NZ , Snow Farm and Treble Cone.

“It’s snow time!” says Tony Everitt, Destination Queenstown CEO.

“The beauty of Queenstown is that you don’t have to be a skier or boarder to enjoy the winter season here. Our lake and mountain scenery is stunning, and there’s a huge range of things to do on and off the mountains for all ages and all budgets.”

For the winter season, more domestic and trans-Tasman flights are scheduled into Queenstown.

There are some 30 trans-Tasman flights from Air New Zealand, Qantas, Pacific Blue and Jetstar flying direct into Queenstown weekly and regular domestic connections from Air New Zealand and Jetstar.
