WINTER 2008 - First Skiing - Coronet Peak

And the winter season 2008 is open!

New Zealand peaks are gleaming in the sun and everybody enjoys the beautiful views of the snowcapped mountains. Heavy snowfalls at the end of May had created ideal conditions for the first ski/snowboard enthusiasts. Plenty of powder on the Coronet Peak (Queenstown) and partly groomed slopes had made perfect conditions for the first piste/off-piste skiing and snowboarding. Although the regular skiers will have to wait for the lifts to open, local enthusiasts have their skins and snow shoes ready.

And believe me, skiing down on the empty slopes after the good workout on the way up is just unreal. Check out the pick to see it ....
