Events 

TC NZ Junior Freeride Tour: Treble Cone joins the NZJFT line-up and fires the starting gun on the tour. Expect bold lines, smart decisions, and a few “did you see that?” moments. Spectating welcome, pick a good vantage and cheer the groms on.

Fri 29 Aug – Sun 31 Aug | Treble Cone

Sun 31 Aug | Treble Cone

T-Ski Gnarlom: A not-so-casual giant slalom off-piste through TC’s spicier zones. One day. Big moves. Bragging rights.

Sat 6 Sept | Treble Cone

Jossi Wells Invitational (JWI): The annual world-class summit returns with a stack of talented athletes from across the globe.

Sun 7 – 14 Sept | Cardrona Alpine Resort

Food & Drink Highlights 

• TC Altitude Bar: With the perfect run of weather coming up, you need to take a moment to marvel at the views from Altitude. Sitting at 1600m, we’d recommend a pizza, beer and maybe a selfie. 

• The Mezz: Championing local produce and cocktails from Cardrona Distillery, The Mezz is the place to feel a little bit fancy. Be sure to book ahead here. 

• Vista Bar: Get the full experience by catching the gondola up and then clinking a glass of Mumm champagne in front of the perfect mountain view. Or a ganache hot chocolate! 

• TC Cafe: The breakfast burritos are famous for a reason. Best for a swift and tasty refuel so you can get back on the slopes faster.
