Queenstown Skiing in 2020
Without doubt this will be a ski season unlike any ever experienced before in the Wakatipu. With no international tourism for the foreseeable future, our ski slopes will be patronaged by locals and those within NZ only. And if the fields stay open each day throughout the season then this means an amazing opportunity to ski without the crowds.
Just a few things you should know in advance: Both mountains are going Cashless – that means you must have a debit or credit card or have loaded money into your MyPass.
