Temple Basin is a club field located in the heart of the Southern Alps, in Arthur's Pass National Park. One of New Zealand's best kept ski and board secrets, Temple Basin consists of 25% Beginner, 50% Intermediate and 25% Advanced terrain over four separate basins.

Located approximately 4kms west of Arthur's Pass Village, the carpark is beside State Highway 73, with a further walk of 45 minutes to the field and lodges.

Two modern lodges with bunk rooms can accommodate 120 people, and are situated on-field.

You do not have to belong to Temple Basin Ski Club to ski or snowboard or stay at the lodge - though members are offered a number of discounts and special deals.
