What You Need to Know in Bullet Points

• Temple has a cult-like status in the club field scene, you have to stay a while to ‘get it’.
• Everybody is welcome to ski and board at Temple, it’s not just for club members.
• It’s not for the masses, you wont find the white Spyder pants type here.
• There are no groomers or snow making to ruin powder stashes – we’re as nature intended.
• Temple is big – It’s raw alpine terrain up here and very different to other NZ ski fields. You can see glaciers on other mountains from the lodge windows.
• Most of the terrain off the lifts is suitable for intermediate skiers and boarders. Expert snow sliders prepared to hike will score limitless big mountain lines.
• There’s no road, it’s a 400m vertical hike to the lodges through Arthur’s Pass National Park. The hike normally takes 40min – 1hr depending of fitness.
• You do not have to carry your gear up the mountain, there is a goods-lift.
• The on-mountain bar offers plenty of great wines and delicious craft beers.
• The ski in and ski out lodges are rustic but very comfortable and feature drying rooms and hot showers.
• The fully catered accommodation option includes an awesome dinner and dessert prepared by our on-mountain chef.
• We’re proudly rope tow serviced, they’re the nutcrackers you’ve heard so much about. If you’re new to them simply sing out and we’ll get you riding them in no time.
•  It’s simply rad, friendly and aims to leave everybody smiling during and after their stay at this off-piste paradise.
