🥌 ALPINE CURLING AT THE PLAYGROUND OF THE GODS 🚁✨

Get your lunges and sweeping arms ready and your wildest outfit pressed, it’s time for the ultimate high-altitude showdown!

On Saturday, 8th August 2026, we’re taking curling to heights only Mt Olympus can deliver, 1,800m up at the Tarn. Whether you’re a seasoned stone-thrower or just here for the mountain banter, this is hands-down one of the best days of the winter calendar.

🏆 WHAT’S ON THE ICE?
The Ultimate Glory: The prestigious Mt O Curling Trophy is up for grabs! Bring your A-game.

No Skiing? NO PROBLEM! 🚁 You don't need to ride the rope tows to get amongst the action. Arrive in pure alpine style with a Heli Transfer straight from the Bottom Hut to the Tarn. It’s an epic experience for non-skiers and keen curlers alike!

Mountain Fuel: Hot soup and hearty sandwiches served up high to keep you fuelled while you sweep. See news and events link here https://www.mtolympus.co.nz/news/curling-at-the-playground-of-the-gods-2026

Fancy Dress: Strictly optional, but highly encouraged (as per Mt O tradition). Raid the dress-up box!

📝 NEED TO KNOW:
When: Saturday, 8th August 2026 (Weather postponement date: Sunday, 9th August)

Where: The Tarn, Top of Mt Olympus Ski Field (1,800m)

Teams: 4 people per team. Got a crew? Register now! Flying solo? Rock up on the day and we’ll pair you with a team!
