Hi Sudha I am not much of a skiier myself, however I found that you can purchase most ski passes online at each skifields website - go to http://snow.co.nz/map/ and click on whichever area or skifield
Hi Ahmed In October the weather is warming up, but there are still cold days of 10 - 15 degrees celcius (or 50 - 60F). At night once the sun goes down it can be quite chilly - my last trip was in October
Hi Fiona Sorry, I am in the middle of moving and forgot to put myself on vacation. For tips on winter driving in New Zealand, including inclines etc go to http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/road-user-safety/safe-driving-tips/winter-driving
Hi Sharon It sounds like you are going to have a fantastic trip. I do think that 3 months will be long enough as long as you stay organized and keep moving through your itinery. So far as hostels
Hi Nikki There are all different levels of hikes you can do, from one day to a week. On the West Coast you can do hikes up to both Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers as they both come down out of the mountain
