The Motatapu chutes in Treble Cone are where world’s budding, established, and legendary freeskiers come to play.

You can ski these chutes without a hike out if you traverse high enough at the bottom, but if you want to take the foreline all the way to the valley flor then its only about a 10 to 15 minutes walk back to the base of the Saddle Basin chair.

The snow conditions could be described as sharky and at times it fell like the mountain was trying to trip you over, but with the overwhelming line selection and the abundance of little nooks and crannies we just couldn’t get enough.
