ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME are built into the Christchurch Ski Club’s new hut in Temple Basin. Work began, on the hut about two years ago, but only this season have the finishing touches been applied. All large windows in the 21-bunk hut are double-glazed to avoid fogging, and amenities include porcelain washbasins and a cunning arrangement of wires and poles for drying clothing. Materials for the hut were packed into Temple Basin by members of the Canterbury University College ski club, who undertook to do this work as part of the purchase price of the Christchurch club’s old hut, about 100 yards away from this site. The fine background to this photograph is dominated by Mt. Rolleston, 7500ft high.
