The Rainbow Ski Area is owned and operated by the Rainbow Sports Club Inc. Membership is open to anyone interested in ongoing road-accessed ski/boarding in the Top of the South. The Club has a Committee (currently seven members), and employs staff to manage and operate the field.

Summer Work Parties

Help out with working parties – our club thrives on volunteer contribution both on and off-field. During the summer / autumn, hundreds of man-days of work are contributed servicing, repairing and maintaining equipment and buildings. Member volunteers working for two or more work party days on the Ski field will be recognised for their efforts in the form of credits towards lift and seasons passes.

This 2009 Spring/2010 Summer we have an ambitious plan of maintenance and development projects and we are looking for people of all ages and abilities to help us. You may have some spare time to contribute, a particular skill that we need, or even have access to equipment or materials that we can use - and you get the chance to meet new people, get the inside track on our projects and make a real difference to the winter Rainbow experience. Drop us a line to members@skirainbow.co.nz with your contact details and we'll be in touch!
