A skier glides down a wide, smooth, snow-covered slope under bright sunlight. The skier's shadow stretches out behind them as they carve gracefully, leaving a thin trail of snow dust in their wake. The surrounding mountain landscape is bathed in soft, golden light, with rocky, snow-dusted peaks rising in the background.

"Best ski resort in NZ"

The SoHo Basin extension has put the icing on the cake in making Cardrona the best ski resort in NZ!

Mike Beuvink

"Wonderful ski field"

Wonderful ski field that offers so many options to ski. And a number of places to have a great coffee and a snack too. All of the staff are friendly and the vibe and atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Alan Sher

"Terrain for everyone"

Great all round mountain, perfect for a large group of beginners to advanced skiers and boarders, terrain for everyone. Off mountain facilities are great too.

Nathan Rawiri

"It all feels easy there"

I love Treble Cone. Staff were amazing. Easy to hire skis and get on the slopes and enough adventure to make it interesting. All feels easy there.

Jane Tuson

“One whole day is not enough”

The whole family had fun. One whole day is not enough. Next time we will book accommodation too!

*Please note: this does not apply to Early Bird Multi-day pass holders, who can ski or ride any day outside our blackout period (blackout period: 06 - 17 July, 2026).

To ensure you have the best on-mountain experience, we manage the number of lift passes sold for each day, so days can sell out, especially in school holidays. Pass availability is updated on the snow report page.

Yes! We have already accounted for those with pre-purchased passes to be on the mountain, including pre-purchased: day pass, multi-day pass, season pass and earlybird multi-day pass. 

If you are a saver season pass holder or an earlybird multi-day pass holder, please be aware that your pass is not eligible for use during the "blackout period" 06 - 17 July, 2026.

To secure your pass, you’ll need to pay a $50 deposit upfront. The remaining balance will be equally split into the time between when you paid your deposit and the start of the season. You’ll be contacted with your payment dates when you pay your deposit. Learn more here.

Yes, you can reschedule up to 7 days in advance, subject to the capacity available on the day you want to reschedule to. You will need to contact our team to do so and may need to pay a price difference if the new day you choose is at a higher rate.
