Not far from Queenstown is a place called Steep White. Its up by Mt Larkins and you can heli in from Queenstown or if your real keen hike/skin from Glenorchy. We went there recently for a Diaries Down Under trip. Expectations were pretty low due to the recent snow conditions and weather forecast but we were pleasantly surprised with how the trip went, the terrain, the hut and even the snow was amazingly good. Definitely recommend getting up there if you get the chance.

Mack and Hyne hanging in the hut. The hut times were super fun. Dan Kelly and his wife Christine Grant own and operate the hutt, they are super interesting to talk to about the area and anything else. They stay up in the hut while your there and talk care of the hut, heat, food and anything else you need. I don't think we were ever hungry, the food was real good, kinda different from the usual hut rations you eat when you rough it.

This selfie shows the area well. Below me are a number of shoots then a big open field down to the hut(the hut is in the picture but hard to see, its on the right at the low point of the ridge running down from my hand)). Right in the middle of the shot are a number of shoots, they look small in the picture but they are actually really good. Below the hut is some rolly terrain that is super fun. There is also some good rolls and terrain to build jumps just over the ridge from the hut
