Christiania Ski Club

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.

2026 here we come! Ski for free after day three…!

Whakapapa Welcome to Whakapapa; a world-class adventure playground located on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island.

Never forget the blood, sweat and tears that must have gone into building our beautiful lodge!

Thanks to Alison for sending her father Bruce Marshall's photographs.
