Visitor Reviews of Coronet Peak
Anton from Australia writes:
Great place! It may not have the snow quality of the US, Europe or Japan but Coronet Peak definitely isn't put to shame. Great base with decent food, good coffee and good staff.
Good instructors, especially for kids. Good beginner areas. Good, modern, quick lifts. And the best thing, no crowds (did go out of holiday times so probably need to consider this). Never, ever waited for a lift. And managed to go straight from top to bottom, fast, on some pretty good runs without having to dodge a bunch of gapers!
Would recommend it completely but drop expectations if you've travelled to the above-mentioned places. For Australasia, this is an excellent resort!
