7 day Southern Alps Tour.

Aug 9 - Aug 16. Started in Christchurch, finished in Queenstown.

We were fortunate to get some snowfall at the start of our tour, which made the conditions quite nice.

Our tour guide Haygi has been shredding the southern alps since '92 and has plenty of connections to prove it. He is a top notch guy who knows where to find the best runs on the mountain as well as the coldest brews and best slice of pizza après-ski. Don't hesitate to ask him for anything, he will help you.

I insist that you finish this tour by staying in Queenstown for an extra day and experiencing the plethora of adventure activities that surround you. You have to try the Canyon Swing. Make sure to book all your extra curricular activities through your tour guide, it makes it seamless.

After this premiere visit to NZ, it has me jonesing to come back in the summer.

Cheers
