Skied all 3. Cardrona for park and beg/int freeride, TC for freeride. Mt Hutt for a little park or potentially if there is some work reason to eg transport.
, It's my local and is good enough but most in the area go down to the other two given the choice.
The hills are all away from town's so you'll need some transport to the hill possibly if work doesn't offer it. If I was working I would go cardrona as nz doesnt have the most consistent snow to support all season freeride. Maybe a TC local will chime in and correct me on that tho.

Was gonna do this summer but bank account has prevented it. Gonna go to Japan in November after a summer of work then make the journey down!
Cardies and TC are my options really, think TC tho as I wanna learn freeride and rip big mountain stuffs.

benharrington_I live in Wanaka.

Any leads on housing in the area? Or know anyone looking for a flatmate? Housing so far is my biggest challenge with my Kiwi holiday plans
