Featured Activities
The snow has arrived to the mountain ranges of the Southern Alps and we are so ready to start sliding.
If you’re heading westward to Treble Cone for the day, you’re best to start out on Easy Rider. This beautifully groomed zig-zag trail is rated a green circle and is one of the most fun beginner trails in Wānaka. And because it’s on a cat track and switchbacks the whole way down the mountain, it’s not steep at all! Think of it like a switchback on a hiking track – that’s pretty mellow! This trail can get busy, so just be aware of your surroundings as you make your way down. And when you start feeling more confident, don’t be afraid to give the side-hits a go!
Alright, so you’ve had a few days each season on the plank(s) and now you’re wanting to step it up a little.
At Treble Cone, Main Street is great for intermediate snowboarders or skiers. It’s nicely groomed and not as busy. Pro tip: take lots of ‘social stops’ on this trail and take in the view!
You’re just ticking mountains off your bucket list now. And obviously the ski fields of the South Island are high on your list.
While you’re here, you couldn’t go without dropping into the Saddle at Treble Cone. This is where a lot of our expert locals gravitate. Bullet is SUPER fun and definitely a favourite. It’s essentially a natural half pipe that widens into a bowl as you move through it. Off the side, there’s lots of fun pops and jumps, before opening up into wide off-piste skiing.
Treble Cone is often seen as the go-to for those wanting to test their freeride chops. Diverse terrain, powder pockets and cliff drops – it’s all here.
If you’re wanting some word-class park action, head to Cardrona, home of the Southern Hemisphere’s most extensive terrain park and pipe facilities. From beginners to X-Games pros, get epic park laps that suit whatever level you’re at.
