What is the average weight of the backpack that will need to be carried? What is the weather like in October?

The most pleasant time for traveling throughout New Zealand is summer (December to February); however, this is also the busiest period, especially during school holidays (late December to late January). Winter can get very cold with frequent snowfall - but this is the perfect time to travel if you're looking to ski or snowboard, particularly in the South Island.
