    Changes needed!
    Disappointing to visit this wonderland after so many good reviews.
    No Smoking signs everywhere, but it appears vaping is ok !.! Multiple people vaping near the restaurant….staff not overly concerned either after being informed, as they continued to vape.!!!
    Food…..ugh. Heart attacks everywhere, no fruit, fried food galore, no sandwich’s.
    Surely you can do better? ?
    The skiing was amazing, good runs, very popular at the weekends.
    Queenstown is so picturesque, well worth a visit.

    Yes, you night be able to schlep around Queenstown and find marginally cheaper gear. Or you could go to Browns, get fantastic service - and I mean fantastic - at excellent prices for top quality equipment. Why risk a happy day on the snow - especially when the conditions are far less than average - for the sake af $10? Do yourself a favour: make life less stressful. Browns is the stop to make.

    Totally disappointed at the rip-off prices at Queenstown ski fields and the policy of not refunding ski passes when the mountains are shut.
    The skiing was OK at the Remarkables...but it shut early and good at Cardrona, but the whole experienced has been soured by the gouging through prices.
    At least make the passes transferrable...it's not that hard.
    Makes me sad to write this as I was born and grew up in NZ. Can't recommend Queenstown skiing without HUGE caveats about how to avoid being ripped off.

    Had the most amazing day with James, Tarn and Mark today for our first time heli boarding. These guys are the most amazing, patient friendly guys we could have hoped for. They showed us such a good time, and catered to each of our experience levels….. we will be back for sure. See you fellas next year!

    We hired snowboarding and ski gear for a 6 day trip. We hired online which was easy, with nil issues. When we got to the shop to pickup our gear it was packed and understaffed. This was the same when we did the return. My only complaint would be in relation to service. Definitely need to get more staff. Other than that, equipment was good and price was reasonable.
