What's On: Treble Cone Closing Weekend
Sunday is Treble Cone’s Closing Day. A tradition, a celebration, and a seriously good time, and all are welcome. We’ll send TC off with big grins and a last lap (or five) for the memory bank. Over at Cardrona on Sunday we’re celebrating Pengi's Birthday – cake and good mountain vibes are in store.
The weather’s been a bit of everything every day — snow, sun, and a cheeky dose of wind. Spring keeps us guessing, but it also keeps the fun rolling.
Then it’s straight into summer mode. Super Earlybird Bike Season Passes are $309. Unlimited laps, all season long, and it’s the lowest price you’ll get. Sale ends Tuesday 30 September, so lock it in and cue the dirt dreams.

The Weekend Weather
Friday: Scattered snow showers with some wind, high -4°C
Saturday: Light snow through the day, high -1°C
Sunday: Bright start, snow arriving in the afternoon with moderate wind, high 0°C. Pack layers, lens options, and keep an eye on updates each morning.
Events
Plant A Seed at Treble Cone
Join our planting day as we put 880 natives in the ground (supplied by Matukituki Natives) to complete the fenced, irrigated area at TC. Our team will show you the ropes, as you’re on your way back down the hill. Bring warm layers and garden-friendly gloves, if you have them!
When: Friday 26 September 2025, 1.00–4.30pm
Treble Cone Closing Day
Get your best outfits ready, closing day is upon us.
For everyone’s safety: zero tolerance for unsafe or aggressive behaviour; intoxicated skiers/riders won’t be loaded; respect slow zones (especially Triple Treat) or your pass may be pulled; Wānaka Police will be on-site. Keep it cool, look after each other, and send TC off right.
