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

Strong westerly winds developing

Information

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.
