  queenstown is a good central hub. the remarkables is probably my favourite mountain there. coronet is more of a skiers mountain and seems to get the least snow when there a dump, hence its nickname concrete peak. cardrona is awesome except when its busy its really crowded because the major lifts all end up in one spot but its a great mountain, better to hit it during the week. mt hutt is worth a stop in if youre driving down from christchurch as well, great mountain and always seems to get good snow when theres a dump. ]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 05:02:57 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53447&PID=1242518#1242518 Travel, Resorts & Regional Riders : Skiing New Zealand http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53447&PID=1242516#1242516 Author: humdingaling

Queenstown is where it is at

Coronet peak/Remarkables/Cardrona/Treblecone are your major spots

^^this it the order in how far away from Queenstown central they are

Cardrona/Treblecone would belong in wakana to correct but still accessable from Queenstown
believe Treblecone is would be about hour and half drive though

there is SnowPark nz close  to cardrona if park is your thing
you would spot in some of the snowboard videos as they often shoot movie parts there

Angry, I have had some of the best snow and some of the worst snow at JH.  I do believe the bus system is more than adequate if you don't want to rent a car (although I've never used it).  

Only reason I would rent a car is if you want to venture over to Targhee.  Also a great resort, minus some of the technical aspects.  Hope you can make it out there.  It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Food and drinks in town are very reasonable.  Billy's Burgers is a must stop, that place is great.  There are also several fast good joints around the area if you want to do it on the cheap.  You can walk the entire town, so don't waste money on cabs or a rental car, unless of course you are driving in.

I really want to try this out next season, but I'm not sure if I can handle riding so much pow.  Is a taxi ride from the airport to the lodging location a reasonable price?  Otherwise I would probably rather rent a car on the cheap.

Posted: Mar/30/2013 at 2:46pm

Hey guys, I'm planning a trip with some friends and we all absolutely love that powdery offpiste or backcountry, whatever you want to call it. However we're on a tight budget seeing as we're 17 so we can only afford to stay in Europe (no America/Canada/Japan), although all the resorts will cost roughly the same so don't worry about price when suggesting a resort, as long as it's in Europe that's fine.
The main things we're looking for are
    - good, relatively steep offpiste that consistently has good snow - big mountain lines >>> tree skiing although variety is always good so even better if it has both

    - good nightlife and girls

    - easily accessible offpiste - none of my mates are willing to skin up so the offpiste MUST be accessible by lift.

    I've been to Espace Killy (Tignes / Val D'Isere) twice now with my family and was really impressed by the offpiste there so I'm probably already leaning towards that, but any other input would be helpful.

    PS: La Grave is probably out of the equation, our parents would probably never let us go there alone without some serious bargaining + the nightlife is non existent, BUT mention it if you think it is really worth it for the offpiste - HOWEVER, I would be able to go to Les Deux Alpes and visit La Grave 1-3 times during the week (a guide is shtooking expensive), but would this be worth it? (ie. how is the nightlife and skiing/boarding at Les Deux Alpes?).

    My friends did the whole fly in and get a free lift ticket to ride the same day.  Your hotel doesn't have a shuttle service?]]>     Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:52:56 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51321&PID=1238003#1238003     Travel, Resorts & Regional Riders : Salt Lake City Airport to Park City Canyons http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51321&PID=1237987#1237987 Author: latchpop
