About this audio guide
This guide to Coronet Peak, Queenstown's oldest ski field, turns on one Saturday morning in September twenty nineteen and a former instructor named Anita Graf, out on a run she knew well. It follows a wood-and-wire fence at the foot of Sugar's Run, a ski patroller's note from years earlier, and a trial in the Queenstown District Court. Best heard near the base of Sugar's Run, where the old fence still stands.
