There are many reasons I've chosen to work at Treble Cone for the Southern winter, many directly related to the skiing and many for which skiing is merely the conduit. Over the last two days I've been fortunate to have had to work up at the resort, about half an hour from town, before it opens to the public and before it becomes snowy. I was there as the sun came up over Lake Wanaka and as the kia came back to their perches in the parking lot in front of the resort complex (such as it is - we're not talking about a big place). We open for business on the 30th and begin on-snow training for the Snow Sports staff a few days before then, so everyone is anxiously watching the weather. In the meantime, I'll settle for the views. Enjoy the photos, as with any luck it'll be substantially snowier over the next several days.
Even the kia are waiting for the snowmaking to start!
