Cardrona — Planning your trip
Choosing a resort for your New Zealand Ski holiday should come down to which ski field you feel will offer what your looking for. It is only a one hour drive between Wanaka and Queenstown so a visit to each ski field is possible on a weeks holiday but if you favour one particular ski field you will want to stay nearby.
Once you have chosen accommodation, working out how you will travel to the ski fields is necessary. On a budget check out the dedicated hitching spots where your thumb will get you a ride to the snow. Hiring a car or having your own vehicle is the best option, preferably a 4x4 and remember to carry snow chains!
