Fire at Wairarapa Ski Club

Our hearts go out to all the members of the Wairarapa Ski Club after a tragic fire has rendered their lodge uninhabitable for the season.

A fire broke out yesterday morning (Wednesday, 10 July) at the club’s lodge in Ohakune. Fire crews from Raetihi and Ohakune arrived at about 10am to find it well-involved with fire.

The fire was extinguished about 45 minutes later, but there was extensive damage. 

The lodge will be closed for the ski season. We have a reciprocal booking arrangement with Wairarapa Ski Club and their members may book to stay at Puketoi’s hut this season.
