The Treble Cone opening was a day after Cardrona Alpine Resort was opened by the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Treble Cone closed early yesterday due to deteriorating weather conditions and would remain closed today, tomorrow and Wednesday. She said the wet weather had already brought fresh snow to Cardrona and it would hopefully bring snow to Treble Cone overnight.
