THE REMARKABLES, NEW ZEALAND<br />
The Remarkables easily claims the top spot when it<br />
comes to family skiing in the southern hemisphere, due<br />
to its relaxed Kiwi atmosphere and less commercialised<br />
feel. This laid-back feeling extends to the less-crowded<br />
ski field and makes it a great environment in which to<br />
learn the basics and gain confidence. There are a wide<br />
range of activities on offer, including snow tubing, and<br />
as an added bonus, kids under the age of 10 get to ski<br />
for free. What’s more, The Remarkables gets better<br />
snow cover than its southern neighbours, ensuring a<br />
long season and plenty of opportunities for experienced<br />
skiiers and snowboarders to make the most of the<br />
advanced trails and off-piste areas.<br />
The beautiful surroundings make for a great way to<br />
spend time off the slopes as well, with the mountain<br />
range bordering the picturesque Lake Wakatipu, and<br />
the ski field being less than a 45 minute drive from<br />
Queenstown.<br />
For the ultimate memorable experience, make the most<br />
of the heli-skiing opportunities The Remarkables offers<br />
by taking in the scenery from above before taking to the<br />
slopes.<br />
Terrain: The ski field covers 220 hectares, split into 30%<br />
beginner runs, 40% intermediate, and 30% advanced.<br />
Après-ski: There is a fully-licensed café, bar and Snack<br />
Shack on the snow. Keep an eye out for events over the<br />
season and the stunning village of Queenstown is a mere<br />
20-minute drive away.<br />
When to go: <strong>July</strong>-October<br />
