Headed to New Zealand for 3 weeks and wondering if there are any ski fields open during late Feb/Early march.
Any tips appreciated.

check www.surf.co.nz for surf conditions. if you're a real beginner (standing in white water, pushing off with your feet) then both coasts, east and west, will be fine. West is really consistent, waves all the time great for beginners of that standard. however if you are beginning to go out and catch green waves then the west coast can be a bit tricky and a bit more dangerous. still loads of fun, but just be careful. there is less swell on east coast breaks so you have to be luckier to catch it (see forecasts) but when it comes it's really perfect, and looks loads better. mt maunganui on the east coast is the most famous east coast break, or if you're further south head out at gisburne, or round the east cape. raglan beach break and/or piha on the west coast of north island. loads of people learn at piha but it really is one of the most dangerous breaks in the whole of nz. have fun
