Cardrona & Treble Cone To Restrict Daily Lift Ticket Sales
Michael Fulton (SnowStash)
Over the last few years, New Zealand ski areas have seen increased demand from both locals and international tourists, leading to very busy days on the mountains during peak periods, particularly in July and August. This has resulted in overcrowding, long lift lines, and a reduced skiing and snowboarding experience for guests.In response to this challenge, Cardrona and Treble Cone have analyzed the data on skier visits over the last few years to come up with a plan to manage daily capacities based on how many skiers and snowboarders visit the mountains, using different pass types. The resorts have decided to limit the number of in-season day and multi-day passes sold to the public, while keeping the same number of season passes and Earlybird multi-day passes as previous years.
