What was 3 years ago a harebrained idea executed by a small group of Wanaka’s hardcore riders has snowballed into 60 people strapping skis, boards and boots to bikes.
The mission: Pedal 30km from Wanaka (300m above sea level) to the base building of Treble Cone (1260m), Ski tour the remaining 1,000 vertical meters to the Treble Cone Summit (2088m), strap in and send it back to Wanaka for a well deserved pint at Kai Whakapai. Total KMs: 64.72km, Elevation gain: 2,117m.
In it’s third year, the annual Green Steam was met with a classic New Zealand spring cocktail of hot sunshine, a howling ‘Nor Wester, snow showers and torrential rain. Despite the horrendous forecast 60 of Wanaka’s best battlers showed up at 6:30am for one of the most engaging days of the season.
