Coronet Peak , New Zealand

Rated 7 out of 10

Great place to start

Tue 18 January 2005 Butchie
Coronet is a great place to learn to ride. It can get a little boring for more advance riders though. I definetly recommend it over its sister mountain at the Renarks. It can get a little crowded around the middle-end of July but the Quad keeps the lift lines reasonable. Very freindly and great for backpackers who ride because the accomodation in Q-town is cheap and friendly. Still worth the time even if the snow cover isn't great because there are very few (if any) rocks on the mountain so you don't bust up your board too much. Stunning views from the top
