Sharing a few shots from Hamish’s summit mission this week. What an epic effort! Thanks for sharing, Hamish!

We've still got plenty of beds available next week, so if you've been thinking about a last-minute trip, now's your chance. Grab a couple of mates/family members and make the most of the final weeks of the season. ❄️🎿👌

Hi Clubbies,

The school holiday forecast is looking like a bit of a mixed bag, but as we all know, mountain weather can change in an instant. What looks average on the forecast today could turn into an amazing day on the slopes tomorrow.

We still have availability throughout the holidays, so why not lock in a stay and see what happens? Even if the weather doesn't quite deliver, spending time at the lodge is an experience in itself.

With comfortable beds, cosy lounges, a TV room, plenty of books, board games, table tennis, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's a fantastic place to relax and unwind after a day on the mountain 📚📺

Don't forget that members are welcome to bring non-member guests along to experience mountain lodge life. There's really nothing quite like staying on the mountain. One of the biggest perks is skipping the early morning drive and the hunt for a parking spot. At the end of the day, there's no trudging back to a cold, wet car either. Instead, head back to the lodge, enjoy a hot shower, put your feet up, and perhaps even relax in the sauna 🧖‍♂️ 🧖‍♀️

We'd love to see you up here during the holidays 💚

Spring is still delivering some great opportunities on the mountain, and there’s plenty of time to make the most of it. Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow, and we have good availability in the lodge this weekend as well as throughout the school holidays ❄️🏔️🎿 lwtc.org.nz

A fantastic weekend celebrating LWTC’s Mid‑Winter Christmas party. Thank you to everyone who made the effort to come up to the lodge, contributed to meals, helped with cleaning, brought great energy, and took part in Secret Santa.

A special thanks to Judy and the committee, who continue to put in a mammoth effort to keep the lodge running. There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes that ensures we can all enjoy this place.

Snow conditions weren’t amazing, but most of us still managed to get in some good runs. We hope everyone had a safe trip home today. Already looking forward to doing it all again next year 🎉🎄🎅❄️
