WELCOME TO THE POLICE SKI CLUB INFORMATION

Established in 1986, the NZ Police Ski Club Inc was formed when a group of enthusiastic Police members came together with a common goal of snow, sun and fun.

In 1992 the Club purchased an existing property situated at 35 Queen Street, that has over 40 beds in 12 rooms. It has a spacious living area, cooking facilities, a drying room and on-site custodians.
