About our lodge
Situated 500 m west of the top of the Bruce Road, Mount Ruapehu, our ski
lodge is available for members and their guests, and approved groups. Click
here for directions.
The lodge can accommodate 32 people, in bunkrooms that sleep between 4 to 6 people.
We have all the comforts of home; two lounges, hot showers, drying rooms, ski
and board maintenance area, and all the other refinements to make an enjoyable
atmosphere. Most food is provided at the lodge. Those using it share food
preparation and lodge housekeeping tasks.
Ski to the door if sufficient snow. Off with the boots, and inside to the
warmth of après ski. In the morning a short warm up walk puts you back at the
tow, ready to ride up the mountain. No parking or vehicle hassles here.
Relax in the evening; watch the sunset over Mt Taranaki, or play in the
snowfield close to the lodge.
