Excerpt: Treble Cone is a commercial skifield near Wanaka, New Zealand. Treble Cone boasts the longest vertical rise in the Southern Lakes and spectacular views over Lake Wanaka and Mount Aspiring/Tititea. The skifield is the off-season training ground for the national ski teams of Austria and Norway. Founded by Murray Raffills (Raffills Ridge namesake) and Ralph Markby and started out as a small field being managed by many locals until it was sold. Fans of the field tend to be attracted there for the fairly steep and challenging terrain which they claim is some of the best in the country however recent initiatives ensure that intermediate and beginner skiers and boarders are fully catered to. These include providing more expansive beginner and intermediate groomed trails for skiers and boarders. There is also a small terrain park. Guided tours are offered for advanced riders out to the Motatapu Chutes and for intermediate skiers/riders to see the new smoothed out terrain.

Among the New Zealand club fields, Awakino best represents club skiing as it first began. It is the least changed and least developed of the fields. This is part of the field's charm.
