The best place to stay on the mountain
Ski Racers is a member-owned club lodge perched halfway up the Rock Garden ski run — ski-in, ski-out, with a roaring fire, three hot meals and an unmatched view. This is on-mountain accommodation the way it was meant to be: real, warm, and brilliantly good value.
HOW IT WORKS
Not a hotel. Better than that.
Ski Racers is open to anyone who loves the mountain, not just skiers. And despite the heritage of our name, we’re not a racing club either.
As the lodge sits nested in a national park, with a DoC concession, it operates as a members’ club rather than a hotel — which means your annual membership is what unlocks the best accommodation on the mountain.
