Visitor Reviews of Temple Basin
Sickbird from New Zealand writes:
Temple Basin is the only ski area in the Southern Alps, all the other ski areas are in the foot hills blocked by the Alps, that is why Temple gets the big dumps from the NW!
The best memory I have is skiing Temple 11.00pm under lights freshies up to my nipples!
