The International Skiing History Association has
recently honoured the published history of Treble Cone by awarding the book
the Skade Award.
In
recognising this book, the passionate efforts of a stubborn group of Kiwis were honoured, most especially the men
who got things rolling in the late 1960s – Treble Cone founders Rod Aubrey, Ray Cleland, Murray Raffills, Don
Ross and Sir Tim Wallis.
The Skade Award is presented to
outstanding works of regional ski history. This year, writer Matt Conway
was recognised for Treble Cone (Clean Green Press), the history of the
eponymous New Zealand ski resort. Awards night was at Springsboat Springs,
Colarado.
