treble cone for terrain, cardrona for park, and snowpark for pipe. all three are based out of the town of Wanaka.

Snowpark is our only fully deacated snow park.

Cardrona also has a great park.

www.cardrona.co.nz

Treble Cone great for clifs and big mountain.

Wanaka will be the place you are looking for to stay, or queenstown, but u will be drive a little way to make it to snow park if queenstown

i agree, if you're up north the club fields are the bomb. you wont find better or easier backcountry access anywhere in the world. such friendly people, cheap lift passes, and awesome skiing.

queenstown is easy to get to the remarkables and cornet peak.. its been a long time since i was there, but my memories of coronet peak were bad. if you're willing to drive a bit further you can make it to cardrona, snow park, or treble cone. i reckon wanaka is definately a better location than queenstown.. its a cooler more relaxed environment there and there are more options for where to ski
