Temple Basin Ski Area
About
Temple Basin Ski Area, a local business on South Island, sits at State Highway 73, Arthur's Pass Village 7875, Nueva Zelanda. It operates as a sports centre in the Arthur's Pass area, on the route across the island's high country.
The ski area is known for its position on the mountain slopes above Arthur's Pass Village, the kind of place where snow sports are the draw. First-time visitors should expect a club-run field rather than a large commercial resort, with access and facilities reflecting that character. Sixty-eight reviews have produced a 4.5 out of 5 average, a strong record for a small operation. Reaching the area from Christchurch is possible via State Highway 73, while travellers from Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau or Kaikoura would plan a longer journey.
Three photographs accompany the listing, and the ski area keeps a website at http://www.templebasin.co.nz/. The listing carries no opening hours, so the website is the place to look for current arrangements.
Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
