The Wanaka Ski and Snowsports Club is turning 40. Come and celebrate with us at The Lake Wanaka Centre on 15 June at 7.00pm. Put on your retro party gear to jive to live music by Cemetery Road. Have a welcome drink to start your evening off, after which there is a cash bar and it’s R18 for alcohol. Food will be available during the evening. A silent auction will be running with great items worth bidding for. Captivating footage will be shown on a big screen and watch carefully, you may even catch yourself in the lineup. A photographer will be at the entrance foyer to capture your retro look. The club was formed on an Easter Sunday in 1979, when a group of keen snow buffs decided they needed a club in order to get cheaper skiing! But they also wanted
to sell gear, hold fitness classes, races and of course social events. Led by Peter King, the committee comprised Heather Ronald, Gregor Ronald, Joy Gawn, Allan Gillespie, Steve Scurr and Ken Burke.
Visitors welcome | OPEN DAILY 10 – 5 (closed June - July) 1767 Luggate - Cromwell Road (State Highway 6 between Wanaka and Cromwell)
Over the past 40 years, the club has supported the winter athletes by fundraising and events. Races have been held at Cardrona, Treble Cone and Snow Farm to encourage participation. Originally set up for skiing only, the club now incorporates all snow activities such as freeskiing and snowboarding. Social events for adult members have always been an important aspect of the club. Tickets for the party are $35 and are on sale at Outside Sports, Racers Edge and Snow Sports or by contacting info@wanakasnowsports.co.nz
