Repeated back-to-back screenings were held at Ruby Cinema, downstairs from the new Cardrona-Treble Cone Basecamp at 50 Cardrona Valley Rd, during the skifields’ annual "Welcome to Winter" bash. Noel Williams proclaimed the skifield’s new town office and bar concept next door to the town’s Basecamp climbing wall a "great use of the facility". Lake Wanaka Tourism’s marketing and communication manager Gizelle Regan said it provided a deeper context to the Wanaka story.
