Treble Cone
Treble Cone lies at the South East end of the Southern Alps - right in the heart of the Southern Lakes District and only 19kms from the lakeside town of Wanaka.
Description:
Covering 550 hectares, it has more skiable terrain than
any other ski or snowboard area in the South Island. With
the longest vertical rise in the Southern Lakes and spectacular
views over Lake Wanaka and Mount Aspiring, Treble Cone can
claim some of the most exhilarating runs in the country.
It is however the snow quality that really sets Treble Cone
apart. Renowned for dry powder and plenty of it, Treble
Cone receives an average annual snowfall of 5.5 metres and
has an average maximum snow depth of 3.25 metres. Its proximity
to the Southern Alps means reliable snow conditions and
weather, and its geography means it is protected from the
bitterly cold southerly winds.
Spread over three large basins the mountain has trails to
suit all ages and skill levels and the only high-speed,
detachable 6-seater chairlift in the Southern Hemisphere.
Great natural and man-made half pipes and terrain parks
also make Treble Cone a mecca for snowboarders. Families
are really looked after at Treble Cone with specially priced
day passes, preferential parking right outside the base
building and a junior ski school for threes and over called
the 'TC Cat Club' with indoor and outdoor play options.
The season runs from late June to early October and extensive
snowmaking ensures early season reliability. Daily transport
is available from Wanaka and Queenstown (during season).
