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

This looks like great fun!

The Rangatira Retro is on Saturday 5 September.

If the snow isn’t quite playing ball for the fully groomed dual slalom they originally planned, Rangatira Alpine Sports Club will work with Whakapapa on the best alternative. It could be a banked slalom or something similar that gives everyone a chance to get involved. Format and location will be confirmed by the middle of next week.

Whatever the course looks like, the day is all about getting the clubs together, dressing up and having a great time on the maunga.

From 3.30pm, we head to LBC for prizegiving before rolling into a sunset party with a DJ and drink specials.

Thanks to Snowverb, HEAD and TCB, we’ve got a huge prize pool of jackets, pants, hoodies, goggles, gloves and heaps more. You definitely don’t need to be the fastest to win either - they have prizes for Best Dressed, Best Club Crew, Looked the Fastest, Crowd Favourite, and Junior Stoke.

Great to have a full club over the weekend!
