Wanaka, Snowfarm, Pisa Range, in a north east to north west wind. Easy access to high altitude (cold and snowy) rolling terrain. The Snowfarm people are increasingly aware of our needs - just give them the courtesy of checking in to see where you can park and kite, and a financial contribution (~$27 day to cover road access). There are a few local snow kiters, and a crew from Christchurch make the trip once a year (August - September) for 'Wanakite'. Watch this web site.
