It’s snow time for Queenstown

Monday, 27 May, 2014 0

Downtown Queenstown and the surrounding South Island New Zealand mountains have been blanketed in snow following an overnight snowfall.

Coronet Peak is scheduled to open on June 7 and other local ski fields will follow soon after.

Queenstown’s winter season will be officially launched on June 20 with the annual American Express Queenstown Winter Festival.

Destination Queenstown CEO Graham Budd said the Winter Festival "is a great excuse for both Kiwis and Aussies to plan a trip to Queenstown".

"With increased flight scheduling this winter, both domestically and trans-Tasman, it has never been easier to get here."

Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia are operating an additional 40,000 seats to and from Queenstown over the peak winter period, Qantas has boosted services between Sydney and
Queenstown with daily flights over peak ski season and Jetstar has added an extra 16,000 seats from Sydney and Melbourne into Queenstown over winter.
