Background: I skied here for 2 months back in 2005, so things may have changed since I was last there.

It has a very good lift system, and better snow making facilities than most ski hills in NZ (apparently paid for by the Austrian national team who train here during the off season).

The skiing is excellent, there are lots of well groomed runs as well as easily accessible off piste.

The main cafe had the nicest muffins I have ever had, they were expensive, but I still ate one pretty much every day I was there.

While the skiing is excellent, I had a number of problems with Treble Cone. These issues are true for most ski hills in New Zealand, but they seemed worse in TC than elswhere.

The resort staff were quite annoying, often needlessly bossing about the people I was skiing with. Most lift lines also had people checking tickets instead of ticket machines, which I don't like. This was a complete surprise coming from Europe, where the resort staff stay out of the way as much as possible.

I found it to be outrageously expensive. Daily lift passes cost 45 euro - that's the same as some of the largest and best ski areas in Europe, which are probably ten times the size. A season pass for this single area was the same price as a season pass for the entire Berner Oberland region in Switzerland.

Verdict: good skiing, but very expensive
