That’s not a ski field, this is a ski field

The Herald reported:

The Australian ski industry’s blood is boiling over Qantas’ decision to help promote New Zealand with a A$4 million partnership.

The two-year deal was announced this week as part of Qantas’ aim to boost visitor arrivals in New Zealand from Australia, the US, Germany and the UK. …

Mr Hackworth said New Zealand already takes 25 per cent of the Australian snow holiday market.

He said Australia’s snow industry received little support from the government, despite providing 17,000 jobs and being worth A$1.7 billion.

I’m surprised it is only 25%. I’ve skied in Australia and with respect their fields are not a patch on the best New Zealand fields. There is a reason so many Aussies fly to Queenstown.
