Mt Ruapehu has 990 awesome hectares of patrolled terrain, making it easily the largest ski area in New Zealand. It also has the longest vertical drop (722m) and the highest lift access in New Zealand. It all adds up to massive variety! There's something here for everyone from the absolute beginner to experienced skiers or boarders looking for a real alpine challenge.
The Whakapapa Ski Area is located on the north western slopes of Mt Ruapehu and on a clear day has spectacular views across the central North Island. A short 6km drive up the Bruce Road from Whakapapa Village will get you to the base of the Whakapapa Ski Area. Whakapapa is renowned for its world class beginner facilities in Happy Valley. After recently being enlarged by a third, it has become a popular zone for first time ski and snowboarders with its wide gentle slopes. Happy Valley has separate ski hire facilities and a 120-seat cafeteria to re-energize in throughout the day. With its north facing basin, many steep faces, slopes, and gullies, Whakapapa is an adventure playground for those more intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders looking for some challenge.
The Turoa Ski Area is located on the south western slopes and has spectacular views out towards Mt Taranaki. A 17km drive up the Mountain road above Ohakune village will take you up to the base of Turoa Ski Area. Turoa is renowned for having New Zealand's best Terrain Park |
