OMG

Would be a 4 star review - except that on a Sunday, with beautiful weather and lots of visitors arriving, whoever runs the ticketing operations should be sacked. We arrived exactly 9am, and found there was ONE ticket window open for walk-up ticket sales at the busiest time for sales of the week. The queue was about 50m long. By the time we got our tickets (NZD $149 each) it was 10:10am. Basically wasted over an hour in line, for a resort with just 2 lifts. Given the shambolic and embarassing lack of customer service, we will not be returning. Have snowboarded all over the world, and can't believe how incompetent and infuriating the ticketing system is here. Buy a ticket online? Nope, can't do that. Nice scenery, once you've finally managed to get a ticket to get on a lift. Supposedly NZ's biggest snow area, but not run like one.

Amazing! Loved it, a little more advanced the slopes with some great testers for skill with their natural shutes and cliffs. The summit is great and the ability to Board/Ski all the way down was something amazing to do

Great slopes, very fun and interesting terrain with a lot of variety, and the best views out of any ski area around Queenstown/Wanaka area.

On top of all this they have great food and free bag storage unlike other ski areas which not only saves money but time.

Awsome

Wasn t overly busy in September but softened up nicely later in the day on a sunny day.

Amazing view from the summit and totally worth the effort of the 10-15min walk up from the highest chair lift.

Such a great resort! All the staff are so lovely. The skiing is the varied, lots of hard stuff but also lots of medium level slopes, and THE BEGINNERS AREA IS FREE including the magic carpet area and T bar

Amazing facilities for teaching kids. Free magic carpet perfect for young kids (had my 3 year old having a great time). The staff are amazing and very accommodating me. Parking and drop off facilities really handy and we'll staffed. A beautiful drive from Wanaka. Very highly recommend!

Obviously amazing for expert skiers but not suitable for a couple of kids who want to explore blue runs. Signage is unclear on most runs, we found ourselves endlessly getting into really difficult terrain in icy conditions. Happy to get the kids out without injury. Only managed four runs in the day due to icy conditions. Food was great, Hot fresh muffins were amazing. Saw some of the best views I've ever seen. Road up is incredible but terrifying. Lot of hard core people having a fantastic time, it just wasn't for us. Maybe better snow conditions would make a big difference. Would come back if there was powder.

I was here in early August 2016. As a beginner - having experienced green slopes at Cardrona - Treble Cone's green slopes were definitely NOT "green" in comparison! The view from the top, however, was absolutely amazing - a must see

Not a good learners field but the best views of all the ski fields! Great transfer service too. I am sure for more experienced riders it's a good field as the runs (at least the green) is much longer than the other fields... warning, the real learners area has a TINY magic carpet and then a t-bar which you can imagine is hard to a real beginner. Staff were super kind and helpful though at the t-bar (or whatever it's called).

Avoid at all costs!!!

Avoid at all costs!!!
The worst customer service of any Alpine resort I've ever been to. The people on this mountain have no regard for your enjoyment or experience. They deserve to go out of business.

For me and my partner this was our first time on the snow. We thought that Treble Cone was really accommodating for first timers. All the staff here were lovely and we especially wanted to thank Dane Verity who gave us snowboarding lessons- We met Dane before we had signed up for the lessons and he gave us a few tips to get us going! I would suggest not buying a lift pass till you get there as in our experience we spent a lot more money on buying a pass in advance when we only used the lift 1 out of the 5 days as we weren't experienced enough. We spent a lot of money on the lift pass when we could have gotten a way better deal buying a pass there and spending the extra money on more lessons. Also, we suggest renting your gear in town before heading up there as that will save you money as well.
