Ngauruhoe Ski Club is an all-inclusive, family based club for all snow-loving whanau to experience the beauty of our Maunga.
With a mix of families, younger singles, senior and veteran members, Ngauruhoe
Ski Club has something to offer people of any age and
ability.
Year round, our culture of inclusiveness encourages all members and guests to enjoy each other’s
company, and bring their own unique input to their stay.
Our inclusive culture is fostered by members attending work
parties, belonging to the committee, or actively engaging in the various events and programs
which support our members to be the best skiers and boarders they want to
be. These programs include events such as Mid-winter Christmas, Wahine Weekend, kiddies week, Junior Club Champs, plus themed parties year round that fill our exciting
winter calendar.
Ski development and racing are important functions of the club
with training squads for juniors and teens, an adult's midweek development
program and of course the famous Ngauruhoe Ski Club Trophy Race.
The Ngauruhoe Ski Club Trophy Race is the largest inter-club
race on the mountain. It is keenly contested by most of the clubs in the Iwikau
Village with the after race party being a highly anticipated annual highlight.
Ngauruhoe Ski Club lodges are available for year round use. Mountain biking, hiking, fishing, The Old
Coach Road and the Tongariro Crossing are all close by. Ngauruhoe Ski Club is a great place to hold family, work or social events as both lodges can be
booked for exclusive use at economical rates, outside of the ski season.
While staying at one of our two modern
and comfortable lodges, every member and guest participate in light
duties which keep the club running smoothly and share the workload. At
Whakapapa during winter, breakfast and dinner are provided courtesy of our
Custodian who is resident at the lodge from early July until the end of
October.
We welcome enquiries from anyone interested in becoming a member of an active and social ski club.
Applicants over 18 years qualify for senior membership - there are also Family, Junior, Veteran, and Midweek & Summer membership categories.
