A Rainbow Season Pass gives you the freedom to ski or ride as few or many days as you want during the season, because you can ski or ride for free on any day that Rainbow is open. Best for you if you think you will ski or ride more than six days in a season, or if you intend to visit other ski areas where you can get a reciprocal discount (currently Mt Hutt, Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona, and the CSA club fields - Craigieburn, Broken River, Mt Cheeseman, Temple Basin, Hanmer and Fox Peak). The Rainbow Season Pass also includes membership of the Rainbow Sports Club, and use of the club's day lodge at the field. Rainbow Season Pass holders also do not need to queue for a pass each day.

Rainbow Workparties Start This Weekend
Each summer & autumn we carry out an extensive maintenance programme to ensure that the field runs smoothly during the winter, using volunteers, contractors and staff. The work carried out includes everything from painting & maintaining buildings, through servicing machinery, terrain work and even staff uniform repairs. 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.

The 2012 Summer Maintenance programme will kick off this Saturday the 11th of February, and continue on every second weekend (except Easter, and weather permitting) until the end of May. We welcome all interested volunteers who want to come up for one or both of the work party days on these weekends. More information can be found at www.skirainbow.co.nz/club/rainbowsportsclub.aspx

Note that if you plan to come up for a workparty you must let us know first by emailing members@skirainbow.co.nz or calling 03-5211861.
