“Fifth-generation families, lifelong friendships — the mountain brings people together.”

Whether it’s après-ski by the fire, homemade carrot cake from our resident chef, or racing the Haensli Cup, RSC is about more than skiing. We’re a club with 100 years of stories — and we’d love to add yours.

Group Bookings

School groups & organisations welcome.

Decades of experience hosting school groups, sports clubs and corporate teams. 170 beds, full catering, and an extraordinary mountain setting unlike anywhere else in New Zealand.

Summer Membership

The mountain
doesn’t sleep.

A summer membership gives you access to our Whakapapa and Ohakune lodges outside ski season — the perfect base for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, mountain biking, trail running, and exploring the volcanic Central Plateau.
