Some of the Ski venues in New Zealand will be open to the end of October - such as Whakapapa and Turoa in the North Island are open until October 29th.

I get there just a little too late, so I will be waiting till the 2007 season, but if you are out there right now, why not head off for a couple of days in the snow before summer hits and its beach time?
