You'll find this is the most expensive time to go. Mid-July to the end of August bring the best conditions to Queenstown's ski resorts. This is mid-winter, when the temperatures are at their lowest, meaning there's less chance of slushy or icy conditions. Compared to surrounding months, July sees the least number of days with precipitation, so you'll have the greatest chance of bluebird days by travelling then. June and October, the beginning and end of ski season in New Zealand, are the cheapest months to travel while you can still hit the slopes.
However, this may mean fewer runs open and slushier conditions. If conditions aren't ideal once you're there, you could still be in luck — late-June is also when the Queenstown Winter Festival is on. While lift pass prices may not change much throughout the season, there's less demand for flights and accommodation in Queenstown right at the beginning and right at the end of the ski season.
This usually brings a drop in prices as well. Make your way to the ski fields near Queenstown without a hassle by hiring a car in advance. Hiring equipment is ideal if you don't want to use up your baggage allowance with your ski gear or you're not a seasonal skier. You can hire rental equipment from Coronet Peak and The Remarkables including ski and snowboard equipment, clothing and overnight storage lockers.
