I was talking to a friend in Queenstown on Friday….he reported the snow falling, even settling on the ground….winter is definitely on it’s way as the next day my sister text me from Wellington to say she could see snow on the mountains at the top of the South Island.  Time to start looking for flights south, Ski Traveller has some great hotel, apartment, rental car & lift pass deals for Queenstown, Wanaka and Methven this year….come in and see us or give us a call to book your South Island winter getaway.  

Talk to Lianne about the South Island.

PS - make sure you check out the amazing BlackonWhite Ski Camps we have for July & August (under UNIQUE Holidays on our site).  The camps operate from Mt Hutt, Coronet Peak and Treble Cone - very limited numbers, take your skiing to another level - you will be coached by former Olympic & World Cup skiers, the BONUS for this year is Antoine Deneriaz the 2006 Olympic Gold Medalist will be attending two of the camps!!!
