Queenstown is the place to be if skiing is your priority. Second choice would be Wanaka.
Who knows, it may even be possible to work as an engineer for one of the ski operators.
Queenstown's main industry is tourism so there's no shortage of hospitality jobs, but you probably won't get rich doing that sort of work.
Christchurch may have better employment opportunities but that would be its only advantage. Forget the North Island.
Quite a few friendly bikers in Queenstown but we don't usually ride in winter because of the seasonal hazards.
