Help Requested
The Club has a couple of requests for assistance from members. If you are able to assist with either of them please email John McCurran at johnmccn@ihug.co.nz , DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.
- The Rangatira sign at the entrance to the Turoa lodge needs some TLC. Is there a member who would like to do a new sign, possibly just a name plate and someone who is interested in touching up the old sign so we can relocate it inside to preserve it?
- We still require the pavers to be taken to the Turoa lodge. Please advise if you are able to supply and / or tow a trailer load down with you on one of your trips. We also require volunteers to help load. There are about 4 x 1T loads. Reimbursement of some expenses will be made.
Rangatira Membership – Limited Availability
The Club currently has a small number of vacancies for new members to join this year. Each year, as lifestyles and circumstances change, some people choose to resign their membership. Any prospective members need to be nominated by current members, so this is an ideal opportunity to invite any friends who are keen skiers or boarders.
While weekend bookings at Iwikau are limited, there is still availability at Turoa for the 2008 season. Available bunks are listed by date on the homepage of the Club website.
Mid-week Membership
Mid-week membership is open and is great for people who are able to ski during off peak times. Not only are the joining fees, annual subscriptions and nightly tariffs lower, but the slopes are less crowded too.
Mid-week members can stay at the Club at discount rates from Sunday night through to Thursday night, excluding school holidays. Mid-week members can also book in for weekends and school holidays, space permitting, but must pay guest rates.

The list is updated weekly so please contact the Booking Officer before making any firm plans as the actual vacancies be more or less than shown.
Ski Patrol
Ruapehu Ski Patrol is holding a ski test for those wanting to get into patrol and a 2 day explosives for snow blasting course back to back later this month.
