• Ski Mt Ruapehu
  Situated in the centre of the North Island Mt. Ruapehu with its summit at almost 3000 metres attracts some of the country's heaviest snowfalls. The two commercial ski areas, Whakapapa on the north west slopes and Turoa on the southern slopes are the nation's most developed with outstanding facilities. Whakapapa is best known for awesome off piste skiing while Turoa combines great skiing with a vibrant apres ski scene. Finally do not worry if you don't have time for a holiday until October as Mt. Ruapehu is famous for its quality spring skiing.
