Your Mountain

Mt Ruapehu is home to the most awesome natural skiing and snowboarding terrain in the country: huge snow filled basins, steep chutes, drop-offs and secret powder stashes. Mt Ruapehu offers something for everyone: fantistic learners' facilities, terrain parks for snowboarders and freeskiers of all abilities, and the best spring skiing in New Zealand. On a good day the hike to Mt Ruapehu's Crater Lake is well worth it for the 1,000m vertical ride back down.

Ski Areas

One Mt Ruapehu lift pass gives you access to both Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas. Whakapapa Ski Area is on the northwestern slopes and Turoa Ski Area is on the southwestern slopes of Mt Ruapehu.
