Typically the excitement for opening weekend revolves around catching up with old friends you may not have seen since October. Snow lovers are nomadic, heading to the corners of the globe after the snow melts in Australia, only to reconvene at their favourite watering hole on Queen’s Birthday to catch up and share stories of their adventures.
Snow folk are a forgiveable type, it’s perfectly acceptable to have not been in contact for 8 months but then pick up exactly where you left off, some high-strung city friends could learn from this!
However this year is a little different. The hills are white, the lifts will be running and turns will be made. Will this subdue the partying? I’m not too sure, perhaps people will be content with a later start to their ski day.
Having only spent QBW at Buller and the ‘Golden Triangle’ of the Whitt, Grimus and Kooroora, I’m not too familiar with the festivities at the other resorts.
Where are the places to be? What are the hot parties and what are the annual rituals?
