based in queenstown, even across the country, with a current all-winter freezing level of around (and lower than) 5000', a non de-iced single is a waste of time. even a high performance one.
even with a bit of warmer weather, freezing is at 7000', yesterday buildups topping at 8-9000' across the north island. you won't be getting out of queenstown in the winter very often.
would have thought something like this was more the machine...
