Wanaka, New Zealand – Officials at Snow Park NZ have announced a plan to offer Fly Direct customers who were recently affected by the cancellation of their flights to Wanaka a complimentary three day lift pass to the New Zealand freeride ski and snowboard resort this season.nThe company Fly Direct, which was to provide direct flights into Wanaka from Christchurch and Wellington, has been placed in liquidation before its first snow season flight, leaving up to 500 customers out of pocket.

“It’s disappointing to see their holiday plans to Wanaka squashed,” said Sam Lee, Snow Park NZ Operations Manager. “Snow Park NZ would like to ease the pain by offering a complimentary three day lift pass to all those who purchased a ticket on Fly Direct to Wanaka.”

Details on how to redeem Snow Park NZ tickets are posted on the Snow Park NZ website, www.snowparknz.com.

Snow Park NZ opens to the public June 26, and its season is predicted to last through Oct. 2.
