Club Racing
Each year there are a series of 3 club races held on Whakapapa. These are open to clubs on the mountain and they are the Christiana Derby (Christiana Ski Club), Haensli Cup (Ruapehu Ski Club) and the Ngauruhoe Cup (Ngauruhoe Ski Club).
These races are team races with categories for Junior, Senior and Masters. The teams usually consist of 5 members, at least one female, with the best 4 times contributing to the result.
These races are usually run in the Valley and each team member gets one run. The best part is the Prize Giving/Social held at the respective club after the lifts close (heaps of food, refreshments and spot prizes).
Over the last few years we have had a presence and occasionally have picked up a prize or two (see the previous years race results) so as this is a club social event we want as many people to take part as possible. Age and abilities are not barriers as we had kids as young as 9 yrs old race and a couple nearly 60 yrs old.
Anyone who is interested (especially the young kids) should contact the Club Captain, Jim Norris.
The races have yet to be timetabled by RAL.. These races are also great practise for the Club Championships in September.
Further to these races are a couple of events for juniors being the Rossignol and Mapei races. These are fun events and details are on RAL’s website.
 TUKINO LODGE AVAILABLE for Taupo Ski Club Members
Website
A lodge: The full 2 level building, 40 bunks, Operates with lodge manager over winter ski season (Tukino ski field that is). Also available for large bookings, minimum of 6 people Fri and Sat (ie minimum of 2 nights). Price is $25, plus $10 for catering during managed ski season. When lodge open outside of season, self catered, and $10 does not apply. Like your lodge food includes dinner and breakfast but not lunch.
A “hut”: The lower lounge, kitchen and bunkrooms. Available when full lodge not open. Particularly good in summer for small parties. Gas stoves, manual water, and not hot showers.
If booking the lodge out of ski season (eg 6 people for minimum 2 nights), then we can arrange a lodge manager, alternatively, we offer lodge manager training weekends a few times a year if people want to learn the systems, so bookers can run the lodge themselves for their booking.
