SMC Membership Rates (unchanged from 2013)

There is no joining fee for SMC, just annual subs. Seasons passes are optional but represent outstanding value for money, especially if purchased at the ‘discounted’ rate. All season passes are due by 31 May.

SMC is again imposing a $20 levy to family/couple/senior memberships on this years seasons' subs, to help cover our insurance premiums, which have increased exponentially over the last few years; a result of, amongst other cost increases, the Whakapapa Knoll Ridge Cafe arson/fire of Feb 2009, the Christchurch Earthquakes of 2010/2011, and the Tongariro Eruptions of 2012.

Note :

• a working bee qualifier is now applied to 'discounted' season passes. Working bees are required to be completed by 31 May to qualify for the 'discounted' season pass rate, otherwise full price season pass rate applies.

• 1 member working bee still qualifies for 1 free nights accommodation at SMC Lodge, or 1 free days skiing, whichever you chose.

*1 qualifier = 1 full working bees
*2 qualifier = 2 full working bees

Lockers without a LOCK will be assumed free to use.
