Temple Basin
Great snow, great fun!

Temple Basin, in the heart of Arthur’s Pass National Park, is accessible by a 50-minute scenic walk. A free goods lift carries gear up the mountain. Modern lodges are only metres from the lifts, one of which is floodlit for night-skiing. Transworld snowboarding magazine: “If I had to stay in one area, on one mountain, to snowboard for the rest of my life, it would be Temple Basin – it’s that good.”
