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.

Snowing lightly.

We have an honest snow update for you - We’ll be spinning the Temple and Downhill tows Friday and the lodge is open Friday/Saturday night with more updates to come for Saturday. We’ve had bunch a rain but, it has snowed 8-12 cm of fluffy snow on top of 5 cm of moist snow but you can still ski back to the lodge! Theres a chance more snow will be coming from the SE later tonight so keep snow dancing. Downhill tow will be closed two towers from the top but the Lower Bills traverse is still on. There’s about 25-30 cm of wind blown snow in Lower Bill’s Basin, but Upper Bills will be closed. We have reports that the mingha will be ON for backcountry skiing access. Goodslift 8.30-10.30 and 4-6.
