New Zealand has a reputation as world class slope destination. However, my experience was that it was good, not great.
The North Island has two resorts that are bigger and cheaper than the Southern Isle resorts but snowfall is not as dependable.
Treble Cone is the best of the Southern Resorts based from Queenstown, where you can also access the resorts of Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. All are a drive from town. Expect to see the big freestyle names at the Treble Cone park on good days.
As a general rule the lift served pistes are somewhat limited, but there is a vast range of off-piste possibilities if you are prepared to hike or pay for some heli-action.
