Be you black diamond pro or kween of the ski bunnies, it’s time to whip it out… your diary that is and book a trip to that pair of wee islands to Australia’s east for the 2008 New Zealand Gay Ski Week (August 29-September 7). Queenstown, the world’s adrenalin capital, will learn just how adventurous the pink crowd can be, as Gs, Ls, Bs and Ts come from around the world for ten straight days of après skis. Meanwhile, events such as Dyke Hike and Wine Tour provide plenty of reason to rise through the morning fog of last night’s cocktails. Oh, and as it is a ‘ski’ week and all, there will be a bit of that speeding downhill with your feet strapped onto some sort of contraption. Book a flight on the special Fag Tag flight from Sydney (02 8667 3336) and learn just why they call it cruising altitude. www.gayskiweeknz.com
