Winter is coming- Book now!
Fri, 24th Feb 2012
After a surprisingly cold and rainy day yesterday, I was reminded that Winter is indeed on it's way.
Not that I mind- the worst part is May/June when it does get a little bleak and we just hunker down and wait for the mountains to open, and we will be having a wonderful holiday in Europe for most of it! Yesssss!
Then July comes round and ski fields open and town gets busy with the Winter buzz, and we have those beautiful crisp starlit nights and clear, frosty mornings... Ah, I can't wait.

2012 Lodge Ski Packages and Season Passes
So with all this in mind, it was time for us to release our own Winter 2012 Packages- check out our packages page for long stay deals and 'cherries on top'.
Book before 31st March and receive 2 complimentary tickets to the new Ruby's Cinema that has opened up across the road from us.
Last week Cardrona and Treble Cone released their 2012 season pass rates and for some of you it could work out cheaper to go ahead and book these rather than pay a daily rate.
Cardrona Earlybird Season Passes are just NZ$599 if booked before 14th March, or $769 booked before 30th April. The full season rate is normally $1299.
Treble Cone's Earlybird Season Passes are NZ$1089 until 31st March, plus you get a $100 credit loaded on to your pass card for use on the mountain for rentals or food & beverage. The full season rate is $1829
And the other big news is that the Wanaka Ski Fields have just announced their new OnePassNZ- an interchangeable pass that gives skiers and snowboarders unprecedented access to the partner ski areas plus to some of the South Island's biggest adventure attractions.
This pass offers access to 8 different ski areas in Wanaka (Treble Cone, Cardrona, Snow Park & Snow Farm), Queenstown (Remarkables & Coronet Peak), MacKenzie Country (Ohau, Roundhill & Mt Dobson) and Canterbury (Porters), as well as deals on heliskiing, and an array of off mountain activities, rentals, local restaurants and bars as well. It's not for sale just yet, but we will keep you updated as we get more info.
