Haha, nice article. This will definitely come in handy for our clients as we expand our business to do a lot more NZ Ski Trips next year. The massive amount of advertising in Australia by the NZ Government has made it an attractive option for Aussies to ski over there, and the free internal flights with Air NZ were too good to pass up, especially if you fly to Christchurch, and then onto Queenstown for access to the mainstays Coronet Peak, The Remarkables & Treble Cone.
Cheers

Good idea! Also, I recommend getting a compression sack (like what you compress sleeping bags into) and pack all your soft, uncrushable stuff in there. A lot of ski gear can compress down a lot.

Wear as much ski gear as possible on board the plane then strip off and stuff it in the overhead lockers eg wear your hats and goggles and carry your boots as hand luggage.
