WooHoo the snow has arrived in time for the start of winter, it's very beautiful and somehow it makes the world look bigger. The Queenstown Winter
Festival organisers will be very happy to see the snow along with all the visitors coming to enjoy this very cool annual winter festival. It's always packed full of fun events so check their website to look at the programme and see what you might like to go to. Winter is also a great time to attend a workshop and hone those skills under the skilled guidance of an expert. There are few learning opportunities to choose from in the list below so have a go at something new.
