HIGHWAYS AND PARKING STREETS: The Bruce Road [Whakapapa Skifield] and the Ohakune Mountain Street [Turoa Skifield] are manipulated by the skifield operator Ruapehu Alpine Lifts [RAL] during the winter.

RAL is the only body that determines if the road will be -

OPEN [to all traffic], or RESTRICTED [to 4WD vehicles or 2WD vehicles with chains, or both], or, SHUT [to all traffic]. If the road conditions are icy and dangerous they might make it RESTRICTED whereby they will enforce the utilization of 4WD vehicles and or 2WD vehicles with stores, or both.

They might CLOSE the street if it it very severe conditions such as a blizzard or gale push winds or both.

Restrictions and closures are particularly common during June, Come july 1st & August
