Anything you can do to help promote Ski Racers helps us all.
New Additions
We now have x2 new Fisher and Paykel fridges for the Kitchen and members fridge in the TV Room! These had to be purchased as the old ones were unable to reach cold enough temperatures that were required under the food act. We also have installed a Electrolux Steriliser for the dishes!! This should greatly reduce the time spent on dishes to ensure people can get back to skiing after meals.
Carparking 2025
It is important that you are aware of the Whakapapa carparking rules and how the carparks work. Linked below is a RMCA document outlining the details of the parking system and agreement. Also linked is the carparking map for clubbies. Any number in RED is an allocated club carpark location. If you park anywhere else overnight you will be towed!
Update! Rangatira Express Foot Traffic
This year WHL have made it a whole lot easier to use the Ranagtira to access our club! Following a trial created for the 2019 season, WHL have amended the rules regarding uphill travel on the lift. Previously there was no casual foot traffic on the Rangatira outside of the designated hours of 4-4:30pm and 8-8:30pm during night skiing. The new rules from WHL are:
- Just you and a bag – line up anytime the lift is operating
- If you have more i.e. stores, multiple bags, approach from the left side (ski school lane) during the first and last 30min of the day (9-9:30, 3:30-4)
- Remember to be courteous and wait for instructions. This is a privilege to have and we don’t want to loose it!
- Downhill loading from Hut Flat may be possible when capacity exists
- Any questions on this during the season let us or our custodian know and we can pass it on to the ops team!
Our Custodians know who to contact about this. As with anything else on the mountain this is obviously dictated by the weather so don’t expect a lift up if its a blizzard and the chair is already shut down for the night. Please also respect the staff and their decisions, this expectation was set out in the original trial and we don’t want anyone to jeopardize the system for all the other clubs on the field.
