New Zealand ski fields are said to be the most beautiful in the world. Ski Season revels in the crisp winter, the life of the fiscally struggling, visually stunning Treble Cone ski field, and the people who work and play on her slopes.
Wanaka is a town where everybody knows your name – and your business. Where the phrase 'they're a real character' is widely – and accurately – applied. Local eccentrics, ski staff and guests all rark it up against the truly breathtaking backdrop of Wanaka.
