Snow comment:
Temple Basin is closed on Saturday the 19th.
A great day of harvesting corn yesterday. Yes, Phipps' curves were caressed.
Strong winds are expected today, prohibiting safe ski field ops.
Stay tuned and check in with us tomorrow for a good-looking sendy Sunday session.
The lodge is always open; come on up and join us for a bevvy at the bar and delicious home-cooked meals.
Accommodation can be booked at templebasin.co.nz/about/accommodations/
Walking Track - Use caution on the track; it's slick over rocky sections.
