Communal Responsibilities

Temple Basin Ski Area is operated as a Club. In order to offer guests ( including New Zealand Safety Institute course participants) the best experience at the lowest cost the lodges are run communally. This means that everyone staying in a lodge is required to participate in general housekeeping or food preparation duties each day, and we ask that these be carried out in a willing and cheerful manner.

All New Zealand Snow Safety Institute course participants have particular responsibilities.

On arrival, each guest must assist with carrying personal belongings and the week's food supplies from the Goods-Lift to the Lodges. On the final day, all guests must assist in cleaning the lodges to a reasonable standard.

Juniors are not permitted to use nor have alcohol or illegal drugs. Any junior breaking this rule; will be terminated and he or she will be required to leave.

Parents / guardians of juniors will be held responsible for their childs behavior regardless of whether the parent / guardian is present at the time or not.

 

Lodge Safety

All of the Lodges are smoke free areas where smoking is absolutely forbidden. Because of the fire risk, smoking is totally banned in all buildings on the field.
