Road info

CHAINS REQUIRED BETWEEN BEALEY AND OTIRA 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

Snow showers are expected to lighten this afternoon and clear tonight for a stunner tomorrow.

Information

We have received 45cm of new snow over the last week (8cm fresh last night), with the deepest stashes found in sheltered pockets - Temple Tow is loaded! There is excellent coverage across the mountain and we plan to have all three tows spinning. Bring your low-vis lenses for some excellent storm skiing today!
