As for current conditions here in Wanaka/Queenstown, there's still some great ski touring - was out in The Remarkables yesterday in the sunshine - with more snow forecast for next week! Day time temps are usually in the mid-teens, yesterday was an absolute scorcher!
As an update, 'Queenstown Rock, Ice and Mixed' is in for a reprint - Guillaume Charton showed me the proofs a few weeks ago.
