TREBLE CONE


Matt Conway
clean green press - Hardback - $69.90

This beautiful, richly illustrated book helps explain why Treble Cone with its sensational views and gnarly slopes is so wildly popular and enjoys close to cult status.







This double A-frame designed by Treble Cone director Ray Cleland became the hub for skiers when the field opened to the public in 1976.








Versatile field boss Peter Thomson tackles the Home Basin with the first snow groomer, a Thiokol  Packmaster imported from the United States in 1979. Treble Cone chairman Graham Sinclair paid for it personally and leased it back to the ski field.








The slick six-seater is not only a great way to shift a lot of people quickly, it is also an opportune time for friends and family to catch up between runs
