Coronet Peak Ski Area
This place has it all. A great place to go to and spend some quality time at. I meet so many different people from different parts of the world and it was a great experience. Lots of tourists and local a like. I highly recommend this place for everything that is in offer. A++
This place is great! The instructors are very professional and fun. The staff are friendly. The only problem is the food selection and price, however you can actually prepare and bring your own food.
Stunning scenery! Efficiently run from the car parking attendants to the facilities which are at close proximity to the action areas. We enjoyed the cool area (free) for kids on toboggans as we introduced a 2yr old to snow!
The sight seeing option for those of us that don't ski nor snowboard is an excellent one. The viewing platform is spectacular and an awesome opportunity for heaps of photos with friends and family. The ski lift is also a fantastic experience with again many photo opportunities with the scenery. Well planned and caters for all ages, kids love it. They will tell you what's required to go up in the ski lift with clothing and boots as you will definitely feel the cold and a must for snow fights. A must is another 20 to 30m hike to the very top with 360 surround view. It doesn't get any better than this! You can stop for coffee and food at what really is a cafeteria rather than a restaurant. The sight seeing option was $30 each and $5 for boots, if your clothes are not sufficient for the weather on the day then jacket and pants (waterproof and warm) will be needed too. I don't know what our friends with less than good intentions have done in the past but if you take the bus up there you will be asked your name and DOB before they hand you a card which you keep and use for hiring of gear when you get up there, the bus trip is $25. Expensive if you're paying for your family but still reasonable prices, I would recommend taking the bus up there if its your first time. It was a fantastic time with my family.
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.
