We have finally made it back from our trip around the North Island in time for the opening of Treble Cone, Cardrona and the Snow Park and Snow Farm.

After a huge dumping of snow on Thursday night/Friday morning Treble Cone ski field opened in time for the school holidays; what great timing! Our daughter was up at TC on opening day and couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw how much snow was there. This should set up all ski fields for the winter. Town has become much busier all of a sudden as loads of visitors converge on Lake Wanaka for their winter break and its all very exciting.

What great news it was to hear that the Snow Farm has consent to go ahead with the construction of a gondola to transport skiers up the mountain. Hopefully Treble Cone will also get the go ahead in the not too distant future.

We have some lower price rooms still available at different times which would suit fmaily groups very well and our ensuite rooms also have limited vacancies.

To our North Island friends who we stayed with, thank you all so much. It was a wonderful trip with lots of great memories.

Keep warm.
