What's On at Cardrona & Treble Cone

Last updated 7 August

TC events + light snow

This weekend’s forecast: light snow, big grins, and heaps of events in the calendar. There are a couple of extra goodies up the mountain too: Season Pass holders, Fat Tony’s knocking 10% off tunes at the Workshop all August, stone grind, fresh edges, and eco-friendly Purl wax, all sorted on your lunch break. Heading to TC tomorrow? The crew can drop your gear to Après (free) or at your place in Wanaka for $10. And keep your eyes peeled for Icebreaker up Cardrona on Monday, there are prizes up for grabs!

Weather: 

• Friday: light snow, forecast throughout the day, temps around -4. 

• Saturday: Some clouds, but bring your best puffer, highs of -5.

• Sunday: Clear + cold, sunshine forecast, sitting around a brisk -2.

Events 

Wanaka FIS Tech Series  Alpine racing turns up a notch. Four days of FIS points action with athletes from all over. Blink and you’ll miss them.  When: August 8–11  Where: Cardrona Alpine Resort 

TC Mini Mountain  Small in name, mighty in spirit. The format’s been tweaked, but the groms are ready to show off their best lines and biggest grins.  When: August 9  Where: Treble Cone Ski Resort 

TC Rise and Shine  Alarms set early. Sunrise ski touring, split boarding, and telemarking for those who’d rather earn their turns before breakfast.  When: August 10, 17 & 24  Where: Treble Cone Ski Resort 

TC Banked Slalom  Legend status up for grabs. The Jones Snowboards Banked Slalom is back. Part social, part seriously competitive.  When: August 15–16  Where: Treble Cone Ski Resort 

Food & Drink Highlights 

• Noodle Bar: Not-so-secret anymore, but still the best spot for a quick breather or the top mountain breakfast with a view. 

• The Mezz: Book ahead, dodge the lunch rush, and secure your plate (and a table). Book here! 

• Little Meg (Valley View Carpark): The fastest way to a morning coffee, flaky pastry, or a sneaky après beer. 

• Treble Cone’s Saturday BBQ & Poke Bowls: Lunch on the deck with a view—BBQ for the classics, poke bowls for a lighter bite. Fuel for another lap (or two). 

• TC Altitude Bar: Mountain views don’t get much better, cold drinks flow, and you’re 1600m above any office emails.
