Remarkables Reconnaissance Rendezvous: Queenstown Winter 2016

1 week on snow in Queenstown 2016 - hitting Remarkables and Coronet Peak

Early season didn't give us the powder stashes that we crave, but riding top to bottom and sessioning the terrain park is always a smashing way to spend a day.

Take the opportunity at Remarkables to explore a little - we headed up to the top of the shadow basin chair and then hiked higher up to the lookout over Queenstown. There are some spectacular views and on a clear day there's no place better.

To see: Lake Wakatipu, 

To do: frisbee golf at Queenstown park, gondola and luge above the town, 

ski and snowboard at Remarks, Coronet peak, or Cardrona

Eat: Fergburger, Ferg Baker, Mrs Ferg gelato

Drink: $3 pints at Searle lane then head to Winnie's

New Zealand; the land of Ferg, Teapots, Frolf, and pow. After rolling up to the airport in some fine smelling mercedes monster, and getting stopped at customs due to sleep deprived me struggling to read departure forms, we were allowed into the heart of adventure - qt. After smashing down some ferg and taking copiously long showers at novotel we were up to smash some fresh lines and bring steeze back to the slopes. 

Welcome to winter
