For anyone interested, Jetstar are having a sale on fares ATM, for example it's $179 each way direct Melbourne-Qtown. Unfortunately the household interest in this stops at me.. Oh well, next summer..

I went to Queenstown at the start of January this year. Rode and shot photos with Josh and Rowan, and a few other aussie riders. I'm the guy taking photos on the right hand side of the final step down in that video.

Some photos from my trip in this Pinkbike article here: Pinkbike Photo Epic: A Week in Queenstown

Best place in the southern hemisphere for sure, it was the best thing I've ever done!

We are heading to Christchurch on Sunday night, picking up a van and heading to Queenstown by Tuesday. Planning a ride on way down around Lake Tekapo and then Cragieburn on way back the next weekend. Just hope the weather holds out!!

Snowing pretty hard out in Queenstown today. I'm currently working on packages for next summer, gondola, shuttles and accommodation included. Also some more trail riding options which will have some awesome trails. Should be ready in the next week. Got some sweet rates for Oct/Nov to kick the summer off too! Will re post soon!

November is awesome, heaps of day light, tracks have all been touched up, not to busy (I should stop telling people this, I'll end up too busy to ride myself!)

Hit me up if you have any questions.

Sorry if this has been asked before but how many runs do you normally get in on a "3hr local shuttle sessions (Rude Rock, Zoot, Wynyard, Remarks)" and how much to extend that by an hour or so on the day if possible?

cheers

2014 NZ trip

Hi fellow 'burners. I read through bits of this thread. Some of the photo's look epic. I've checked out some footage on the Toob, mostly of DH trails around Queenstown. My mates and I are planning a trip to NZ in late 2014. We'll most likely be there for about 7 - 10 days. Plenty of time to do some planning but I'm keen to read about good/best places to ride eg - long AM trails 50km - 80km and DH; do we go North Island or South Island; places to stay; what kind of budget people had when they travelled and what that was able to buy. Cheers.
