October in Queenstown: The Last Hurrah of Ski Season

As October rolls in, ski season in Queenstown begins to wind down, but there's still time to get those last few laps in on the mountains before the snow melts away. For those who love spring skiing and boarding, now's your chance to enjoy the slopes without the heavy winter layers.

With warmer days, you can trade in your bulky jacket for lighter spring wear, making your time on the mountain even more comfortable. Whether you're hitting the powder at The Remarkables, cruising down the runs at Coronet Peak, or enjoying the sun-soaked slopes of Cardrona, the spring conditions offer a perfect mix of soft snow and warm weather.

Spring riding also means fewer crowds, giving you more space to carve, cruise, and take in the breathtaking views. It’s the best of both worlds—great snow with a more relaxed vibe on the mountain.

If you're planning a late-season trip, make sure you have the freedom to explore. Booking a rental car from Evolve Rentals ensures you can easily get to the mountains and back at your own pace. No need to rush or squeeze onto the last shuttle—just grab your gear and go!

So make the most of the final days of the season. Whether you’re aiming to squeeze in a few more laps or just want to ride under the spring sun, October in Queenstown still offers plenty of action on the slopes. Don't miss your chance to experience the unique charm of late-season skiing and boarding!
