Ski or snowboard? Mainly boarding Best mountain moment: Hiking up and checking out the crater lake at the top of Mt Ruapehu, wicked view and pretty unusual to have a lake at the top of the mountain. Ask me about…Mt Hutt or Mt Ruapehu – I grew up boarding both mountains.
Ski or snowboard? Snowboard Best mountain moment: Losing concentration while on a T-bar in Thredbo and riding straight into the T-bar tower!!! Ouch! Not my finest hour. Ask me about…Thredbo - It’s my “local” hill so I know all the ins and outs and where the best après spots are.
Ski or snowboard? Snowboard Best mountain moment: Valle Nevado Racing my friend who was on skis through the Olympic Bowl to see who could get to the bottom first! Ask me about…The steep terrain of Portillo and the insane “Slingshot Lift”.
Ski or snowboard? Ski Best mountain moment: Finally feeling confident on the slopes! I started skiing as an adult and didn’t have nerves, so it took a little while to build up my confidence. Ask me about…Leaning to ski at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. Its where I learned to ski!

Late June and most of July is the busiest time of the season with school holidays in place, while August and September generally have the most reliable snow conditions. But If you are after great snow conditions as well as warmer sun soaked days you can’t beat September and early October for great spring skiing and no queues!

NEW ZEALAND | Queenstown
Queenstown Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and nestled alongside Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown tops the list of New Zealand ski destinations to visit. There are four skiable mountains within an easy 90 minute drive from Queenstown - Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona and Treble Cone. Coronet Peak is loved by locals because of the easily accessible terrain and consistent snow conditions throughout the season. Beginner and intermediate areas are positioned away from the main trails making learning stress-free and keeping the steeper runs free for those with a need for speed. The Remarkables is just that – remarkable! This mountain receives an abundance of natural snow and is a favourite with families – what’s not to love about three sunny, snow-filled bowls and magnificent views? Off snow Queenstown has plenty of après ski action with restaurants, bars and nightlife. Queenstown is also well known for adventure activities, making it a paradise for all holidaymakers.

The NSW and VIC Ski Season runs from the long weekend in June until the long weekend in October each year. Peak snow season is generally during late July and August however there are often good falls from as early as April. Most of July is the busiest time of the season with school holidays in place, while August and September generally have the most reliable snow conditions and less crowds.
