Te Horonuku Mountain Sports Club History
In the mid-1960s, a group of forward-thinking old school mates hit on the idea of building a ski and mountain pursuits club in the new village at Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu. They inspired other families to share their dream. They raised funds and built Te Horonuku Mountain Sports Club, literally with their own blood, sweat and tears. This was long before helicopter service drops, so the members had to carry all the materials and interior furnishings up the mountainside to see their dream fulfilled.
Our Name
Maori names were popular amongst the new mountain clubs (most were built within an eight year period) as their committees wanted to pay respects to the history of the land.
Tongariro National Park was created in 1887 after Chief Te Heu Heu IV persuaded Maori to give the mountains Tongariro, Ngarauhoe and part of Ruapehu to the Crown rather than have them split up among several owners. On becoming chief in 1863, he took the name Horonuku.
