Treble Cone approaches 3 metre base

The Spring buds may be sprouting, but it is a full on winter wonderland up at Treble Cone. Over the past week Treble Cone has boosted its base depths by 25% with the help of a few storms depositing over 75 cm of and light and dry wintry snow. The base depths now sit at 260 cm on the Saddle, making it the deepest in the Southern Lakes.

“The recent storms have deposited snow perfectly at Treble Cone. Westerly flows combined with low freezing levels give us dry, light and deep snow, a rare quality for NZ resorts,” said Rosco Davies, TC Operations.

Tim Hudson and many of the long-term patrollers have agreed that the 2009 season has been one of the best in recent years. The back to back powder days that continue to hit Treble Cone this year have the locals reaping the benefits.

Now with Spring Pass prices sitting comfortably at $389, Treble Cone has opened their doors to everyone seeking great value at an alpine resort.

“Conditions couldn’t be better going into spring and we are stoked to offer our passes at such a reasonable rate. Our facilities are available to anyone seeking an affordable alpine experience, and with four weeks to go this is as good as it gets,” said TC Marketing, Antony Hansen.

With the South Island’s largest vertical descent, the most terrain and longest groomed trails, Treble Cone is New Zealand’s premier alpine resort. 360 degree views of the snow capped Southern Alps, the brilliant blue Lake Wanaka and the rugged Central Otago landscape make this one of the most memorable views of any global resort. Situated on the edge of Lake Wanaka, Treble Cone has established itself as a mecca for all snow enthusiasts both locally and abroad. Treblecone.com
