Dogs are renowned for being man’s best friend and if that means staying to heel when your owner’s sliding down a ski slope on his bum, then this is the biggest test of all.

Coronet Peak will be jam-packed with dozens of high country farmers racing from the top of the hill to the base building, with their faithful hounds in tow (townies are also welcome to get in on the action with their pooches). It’s a recipe for hilarity and in reality is total confusion as barking, shouting and rustic language gets underway. Basically, it’s just plain good old fashioned Queenstown fun!
