Face to Face on the South’s Slopes

Western Australia Today has pit two of New Zealand’s banner ski resorts against each other to see whether Wanaka or Queenstown really has it all. Combing through the views, nightlife, food, accommodations, and skiing, the results seem mixed. Queenstown tends to offer up the best time for those looking for a tourist hot spot loaded with great restaurants, crazy nights and a ‘hassle-free holiday.’ When it comes to traveling independently and enjoying the epic scenery and skiing that made Queenstown so famous in the first place, Wanaka is a calmer quieter, less commercial experience. Either way, neither is bound to disappoint.
