It is Spring in New Zealand, which means it is still quite chilly, average temperature in September is between 2 & 13 degrees Celsius (35-55 degrees Fahrenheit). There will likely still be snow on the mountains which surround Queenstown with open ski resorts.
Spring skiing is lovely if you want to adventure before or after retreat.
