Coronet Peak Ski Area
The drive up here is pretty spectacular with stops for putting up snow chains. Drive with care. Please wear warm clothes and good pair of shoes preferably boots. There's the lookout at the top which is just majestic. Enjoy nature.
On a beautiful day with fresh powder, Coronet Peak ski area is the to go ski field. Located 35 minutes from Queenstown downtown, longer run than Remarkable ski field, more variety and amazing views, you cannot go wrong.
However, I would suggest it more for intermediate and advanced level as there are only two runs for beginners. Which can get quite boring at some point.
The T bar is another challenge that you can find on this ski field.

Commercially ski area in Queenstown, Included Bar, Cafe, Shop & restaurant. Great place for family with kids. Recommended!!!
This was my daughter's introduction to snow. Coronet is a great beginners ski field with a snow play zone and tobogganing for kids. Although we did find the area for the tobogganing very crowded and quite small. A larger area for this would be great with a longer run for the toboggans.
Amazing facilities and slopes! We stayed on the green runs all day which were in excellent condition and very good to start on! The cafeteria and restaurant were great too - try a hot choccy!
