The Remarkables
Not with your own board
Tue 18 January 2005 by Butchie
The Remarks can be alot of fun to ride but they take a serious toll on your board. If the snow isn't deep enough (they need a ton of cover) there are alot of sharp rocks peaking through. If you pick up any speed you'll never see them in time. It's also not the place for good beginners or intermidiates because most of the slopes are either pretty challenging or too flat. Any where in NZ has a great vibe and boarders attitude especially in the Queenstown area (the Remarks and Coronet) and the town itself is fabulous for 20+ year-old riders with a great nightlife and cheap accomodation at any backpackers.
