Treble Cone: Main Street OPENING
Main Street opens top-to-bottom this Saturday. That’s wall-to-wall turns amongst some great conditions. TC had its first epic powder day of the season this week, and the weather for the weekend is looking mostly fine on Saturday and Sunday, with some light snow late Friday afternoon/evening.
This month, we’re celebrating plastic-free July with icebreaker. Plastic Free July up the hill means: pack it in, pack it out. Lunch tastes sweeter when it doesn’t come wrapped in plastic! Layer up in merino or other natural fibres (our favourites are these from icebreaker). And don’t forget your bottle or keep cup for hot choccies on the go. Cheers to keeping the playground clean!

Weather
Friday: Mixed skies and a dusting of snow on Friday night.
Saturday & Sunday: Mostly clear, perfect for making the most of it. Temps steady, sitting between -1° and 0°C.
