Temple Basin Snow Report
Status
Road
Snow
70cm — 120cm
Road info
The Temple Basin Carpark is located beside State Highway 73, 4 kms west of Arthur's Pass Village. The road is sealed and well maintained so chains are rarely needed. The free goods lift which carries all gear and supplies up the mountain, is also located beside State Highway 73 but 800m further west from the carpark. The access walking track starts from the west end of the carpark.
Weather Comment
Fun in the sun at Temple Basin! A clear day ahead, with sunshine starting to soften any firm snow this afternoon.
Information
Sunday 14th September - OPEN. We have received 50cm of new snow over the last week, with 5cm coming in yesterday morning. There is excellent coverage across the mountain and we plan to have all three tows spinning. Downhill tow did not open yesterday due to wind, so it's all up for grabs today! Expect variable conditions of wind affected powder. Lower and Upper Bills will continue to provide excellent skiing, with deep stashes to be found and plenty of untracked snow.
