A new basin will be opend to skiers at The Remarkables Ski Area, Queenstown, for the 1986 winter. Work has begun on the installation of a 600-metre quad chairlift to the area known as the Sugar Bowl and it is scheduled to be commissioned in May. The ski area opened during the 1985 winter with a double chairlift and a quad operating and stage one of the base amenities complex. After the ski season finished contractors moved in to finish the second stage by next May. The three-storey

More car parks will be available for the coming winter and skier access to the quad station has been improved.
