ABSTRACT

Gay Ski Week (GSW) in Queenstown, Aotearoa New Zealand, has all the ingredients of a glamorous gay holiday. Located in a pristine alpine and lake landscape – nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the majestic Southern Alps of the South Island – Queenstown seems perfect for queer leisure seekers, nature lovers, and adrenalin junkies alike. The appropriateness of the town’s name is a selling point:

With street names like Camp, Man and Shotover, Queenstown in New Zealand is the perfect place for a gay ski week. In September hundreds of GLBTs from Australia, New Zealand and around the world descend on Queenstown for a week of fun, boarding and skiing in many of New Zealand’s best ski fields. The Pink Bus will take you directly from the base hotel to the slopes and return you to the après ski. There is something happening every night to keep you busy until all hours.
