Becoming a Member
The Tahurangi Ski Clubis a members' club. New members are nominated by existing members and welcomed into the club community.
How to Join
Membership is by nomination. Here's how the process works.
Visit as a Guest
Get to know a current member and arrange to stay at the lodge as their guest. This gives you a chance to experience the club and see if it's a good fit.
Get Nominated
If you'd like to join, two existing members need to nominate you for membership. Your nominators vouch for you to the committee.
Pay Entrance Fee & Subscription
Once approved, pay your one-off entrance fee and first year's annual subscription. Subscriptions run April to March and are invoiced through Xero.
Induction & First Stay
Your sponsoring members must accompany you on your first stay to ensure you are inducted and signed off on all lodge procedures.
Working Bee Commitment
New members are expected to attend at least two working bees during their first three years of membership. Working bees are how we maintain the lodge and are a great way to get to know fellow members. Members are credited with one night's free accommodation for each weekend working bee they attend.
Membership Types
Family membership is encouraged and works out cheaper than equivalent individual memberships.
