The new ice driving facilities comprising of a newly built 450m driving lane and a snow-making system have just been completed. The facility is now ready for opening at the end of June.
The new Premium Ice Driving Experience, located adjacent to the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds between Queenstown and Wanaka, provides an exclusive ice driving opportunity, partnered with luxury five-star accommodation, exquisite cuisine, and true New Zealand hospitality in a spectacular and secluded alpine setting.
The centre is set up to provide a once in a lifetime driving experience, presented by qualified instructors and in partnership with luxury European company Audi, which will supply the cars. Guests will experience first-hand the thrill of driving these brand new Audis on expertly prepared snow and ice tracks.
Dean Sheed, general manager Audi New Zealand, is excited about the new partnership. “Having worked with the team behind the Snow Park for several years now, we welcome the opportunity to extend our relationship further with the new Ice Driving Experience. We’re also very pleased to be able to showcase the Audi Quattro range of vehicles in an environment perfectly suited to our all-wheel drive technology.”
Manager Steve Gould says the truly exceptional feature of the facility is that it is the sole ice driving experience in the Southern Hemisphere, and the only one operating worldwide in our winter.
The Snow Park Ice Drive Experience and full venue hire are available from June 30 - July 28 2014, with other dates available on request.
