Australians primed for a winter holiday in the North Island

GEOTHERMAL and volcanic landscape of the Central North Island coupled with glow worm caves and Maori cultural events and cuisine are all unique to New Zealand.

Tourism #NewZealand is leading the development and implementation of a $750,000 marketing campaign which capitalises on Ruapehu, Taupo and Rotorua with spare capacity across accommodation and experiences during the #winter months (Jun-Sep).

The six week promotion showcases the geothermal experiences and landscapes of the central plateau volcanic zone, lakes, hot pools, glow worm caves, National Parks and Māori culture with a snow experience at Whakapapa or Turoa, Mt Ruapehu as part of a wider winter touring holiday.

The Epic Pass

THE Telluride Ski Resort will join the industry-leading Epic Pass in a long-term alliance beginning with 2018-19 winter season, bringing the total to 46 mountain resorts for #skiers and #snowboarders. Telluride has been rated the “#1 Ski Resort in North America” five of the last six years by readers of Condé Nast Traveller.

Colorado’s San Juan Mountains boast some of ski country’s most incredible terrain, and Telluride is its mecca, stashed amongst the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in North America. The breathtaking scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies. 

Living up to its reputation for legendary terrain, Telluride has something for everyone. The Plunge, Revelation Bowl and Gold Hill offer plenty of steeps for experts. See Forever and Prospect Bowl provide ideal terrain for intermediates and the wide open, gentle slopes of The Sunshine Express and The Meadows start beginners off right while enjoying the endless scenery of the San Juans.
