Planning a ski or snowboard trip this winter? SnowsBest asked local skiers and boarders for their inside tips.

Stay glued to SnowsBest over the next ten days as we bring you our Insider Guides to all things Wanaka, Queenstown, Methven and Ohakune in New Zealand and Jindabyne, Mt Beauty and Mansfield in Australia.

We’ve asked professional skiers and snowboarders, Olympians, local business owners, artists, entrepreneurs and long time residents to reveal their best loved cafes, ski runs and places to wow visitors so you don’t have to go blind folded.

Here’s a few teasers to get you going.  Names will be revealed when each Insiders Guide blog post is published in full.

Can you guess who loves Mt Iron?

“I like taking my friends up Mt. Iron. You get a 360 degree view of Wanaka and all the lakesCheck back each day for our next guide or just book mark this link where they will all be posted.” 

Which Australian Olympian got to do this?

“I was skiing at Perisher once and did a little jump on my way back to the car and actually jumped over a wombat.”

Who knocks back shots of maple syrup in Queenstown?

“My best breakfast? Bobs Weigh, they have french toast and bacon with maple syrup served in shot glasses.”

Which resort in New Zealand did this person do this?

“Last year I skied in a human slalom where you ski through people who are making the ‘gates’ and then become the gate. It is rather scary considering many of the skiers wouldn’t be able to drive.”

Whose parents bought the local pub?

“I am fortunate my parents chose to buy a pub here and not in a different place.”
