The Queenstown area includes four ski resorts.  These are rather small resorts, but they are fun.

Another option for us was heli-skiing! The rides were breath taking.  The runs were sweet.

the mountain.

There were a total of 20 people that went heli-skiing the day we did.  We were broken up into groups of 4 (plus a guide).
