I'm in Timaru which is about half way between Christchurch and Dunedin. It is on the coast and we don't normally get snow but we did this year and a couple of years ago as well.

You can run down them... boy thats a hoot!!! but then again being winter

your north as a kid... Wanaka and through and up along the Haast Pass.
And further north in Arthurs Pass and the Temple Basin, some great shingle
slides up in that area... some 4500' high.

I have also ran down shigle slides in the Rangitata gorge. It really is as much fun as you say.
Cheers
