Christiania Ski Club

Christiania Ski Club Christiania Ski Club is a Hamilton based club, although we have members from as far afield as Auckland and Wellington also. The club has a lodge on Mt.

Ruapehu (Whakapapa Side) which provides accomodation for members and their guests during the ski season. We can also cater for groups both large and small. Belonging to a club like "Christie" enables members to live and play in close harmony with this magnificant heritage that was so generously gifted to the people of New Zealand. Our 32 bunk lodge with it's cosy atmosphere and modern facilities m

ake an ideal place to live and relax after a full days activity on the mountain. The two main objectives of the club are the enjoyment of snow sports in all forms, especially among juniors (ie. family skiing). The club is a family oriented club - Junior members and their families enjoy booking preference during periods such as the school holidays and the club runs many events such as Junior Weekend and Mini Academy that specifically cater for the younger members of the club. The second objective is the promotion of good fellowship and co-operation among clubs. This objective is symbolised by the Christiania Derby an annual event held in high regard on the Mt. Ruapehu Ski Calendar.

URGENT: We only have a few helpers lined-up for the provisioning work party. If you can help sort food or stack firewood, please contact [email protected]. You’ll save $200 on your Tertiary or Senior member work party levy, and have a fun day getting the lodge ready for the season. We’re waiting for Helicopter Services to confirm they’re flying this week, but the weather’s looking good for Tuesday or Wednesday. In the meantime, here’s proof that the laundry’s clean, bagged and ready to be delivered by chopper.
