Even though the journey to New Zealand can take well over 40 hours, the country is quite rightly a popular destination for vacationers and freeriders who want to escape the summer in the northern hemisphere. In contrast to "normal" tourists, the travel-experienced freerider carries a lot more equipment with them and would like to get to less touristy places. In our second part of our "Freeride NZ" series, we give you tips and tricks on traveling in the land of the Kiwis so that you can get from A to B without any problems when hunting for the best runs.

Fortunately, the journey is not always the destination. After all, 40+ hours of traveling in planes, trains and terminals can be quite exhausting in the long run. The only question that remains is, is it worth the effort to go powdering in faraway New Zealand in the European summer?

In addition to more than 20 million sheep, over 3.9 million people also inhabit the land of the Kiwis. But now to the essentials. As there are so many sources of information about New Zealand, this report is limited to the freeride spots of the island state.
