Summary: The resort has a little bit of thrill in the bowl off the back side and in some nearby little chutes. Otherwise, it's an incredibly overgroomed and bland place that's totally lacking in character. If you have any skills at all, do your partying in Queenstown but make the trek to Treble Cone.

Summary: This resort is the closest to Queenstown and the only one with a sealed access road, so it can get very crowded quickly on good days. Good rolling terrain that is interesting to ride. Lower in altitude means the snow can get a bit heavy and patchy at times. Having said that I recently experienced 2 days of 20cm+ overnight powder with snow knee deep in some sections. The current exchange rate means real value for money.

Summary: Nice small resort close to Queenstowm. Good facilities and excellent tuition. Excellent value for anyone spending hard currency. But be prepared for a long flight to get there for those coming from overseas. As a suggestion... do a week at Queenstown and a week traveling around the South Island, taking in the excellent Marlborough winery area.
