Treble Cone

The joys of working in a ski resort, even if it only be part time. One of the perks, is cheap access of other ski resorts.

Myself and Orla headed off to Treble Cone this morning, bright and early (10 am is bright and early, right??), to find some fresh tracks and sweet powder. Well, we were a tad late for the fresh tracks, but we did find lots of sweet powder, some wonderful lines, gullys, bowls, shots, you name it was there. Treble Cone is amazing, absolutely a fantastic place to ride, especially if what you
like is off piste just after a good snow. Treble Cone has 2 basins and is serviced by 2 lifts. There is very few actually pistes, its a case of
a free for all. The pistes that are there, really function as a home run and conncecting the basins.

We spent about 2 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon and managed to pack in about 12 runs, which wasn't too bad, when you
consider each lift takes about 15 mins to get from top to bottom.

Not only is the skiing wonderful up there. The views are awesome. You are at the back of the lake Wanaka and can see pretty much the entire lake, the village of Wanaka,
Mount Iron, Albert town...
