Snowline Ski Club

Snowline Ski Club WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS! Family-friendly, affordable accommodation on Whakapapa that feels like home. The club was then aptly named the ATI Ski Club.

The Snowline Ski Club was formed in 1966 principally by students of the Auckland Technical Institute. Within three years a lodge had been built on Mt Ruapehu on the Whakapapa side of the mountain. The lodge itself was fabricated in Auckland by apprentices at the Auckland Technical Institute, then dismantled and re-erected on site. The club changed its name to the Snowline Ski Club in 1975. The lod

ge is the second-to-last building on the left as you travel downhill from the top of the Bruce. The lodge can comfortably accommodate 32 people at any one time, with bunkrooms made up of four or six bunks. There is a large kitchen, dining and lounge area - complete with wood burner fire, which provides ample space for relaxation and conversation, even when the lodge is full. Other facilities available include a drying room, separate male and female bathrooms, lockers, ski racks, ski-waxing equipment, an outdoor balcony, and of course, many friendly and welcoming members. The club membership is made up of many families with age groups that vary from 2 years to 82 years. Membership is limited to 250 members so that all members have the opportunity to enjoy the club. Continuous regular maintenance and upgrading is carried out, mainly by members on various work parties throughout the year. All members are encouraged to participate in at least one work party each year. Work parties are generally a lot of fun and a good way to catch up with old friends or make new ones. Voluntary wardens are responsible for organising the duty roster at the club each day, and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those staying at the club. The wardens test things such as fire and evacuation procedures. Snowline Ski Club Incorporated is a legal entity under the Incorporated Society's act and has a legal and formal constitution. Like any organisation there is a requirement for all members to adhere to the constitution and the rules of the club. An annually elected committee of 11 members manage the club. The committee always welcome suggestions and feedback concerning the club. During the ski season a Custodian is employed to oversee the physical running of the lodge. Usually the custodian will cook dinner and be present during the week when a warden may not be available

Meet our 2026 Custodian, Bruce!
Bruce lives in Whangarei with his wife & their cavoodle, Bean. A skier he's looking forward to spending the season at Ruapehu, improving his skiing, and making the most of every good snow day.
He rates his cooking skills higher than his skiing and enjoys creating tasty meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients. He has worked in a variety of catering and cooking roles, including on offshore yachts, so members can look forward to some great meals this season.
When he's not skiing or cooking, he enjoys sailing, fishing, and cycling, and plans to explore the local mountain bike trails during his time at the club.
Book now he starts in first week on July and be sure to say hello when you see him at the club this season – he's looking forward to meeting everyone!
