Treble Cone skifield is rejecting claims it planned to can a skier's pass because he was coaching friends.

A visitor says he was was approached by staff as he shared tips with two friends last weekend.

He claims the worker said if he came with anyone else, and was seen teaching, they'd explore options with his pass.

Treble Cone Experience General Manager Laura Hedley says a staff member did approach them.

"But no, we weren't going to cancel someone's pass for teaching their friend to ski."
