NZSki has lodged an application with the Environmental Protection Agency to upgrade Queenstown ski field The Remarkables and expand into neighbouring Doolans Basin which would increase the size of the ski area from 449 hectares to 711 hectares.

The expansion would almost double the daily visitor capacity for from 3500 to 6000.

NZSki CEO Paul Anderson told Andrew Dickens some of the growth is coming from Queestown's population growth, "we think about half of the growth of the remarkable ski area is going to come from our local community alone."
