Generally when you think of skiing and boarding in NZ, the mind jumps to the famous southern slopes of Queenstown and Wanaka.
Admittedly, these are beautiful regions, and really worth a visit if you have the chance. There happens to be however, an amazing alternative sitting near to the centre of the Northern Island.
We’re mentioning to Mt Ruapehu, which in The english language roughly translates to “pit of noise” or “exploding pit. ” In case you can’t guess, it’s a volcano – the centre and top regions of the North Island are littered with them.
You can find no downsides to the reality, only pros. Ruapehu is active, but the definition of being as such is loose. There is no real threat to going to – and sometimes traversing – them. This part of the country is spectacular, as are the views from the very best, so to forgo an incline up the hill would be a huge mistake.
Here’re our two cents on the fantastic Mt Ruapehu region.
Mt Ruapehu is the home of some of New Zealands prime ski-fields, Whakapapa and Turoa.
Whakapapa, being the greatest ski-field in Brand new Zealand lies one on the northern facing side, and the other on the southern. A third, club-operated skiing field can be found on the mountains east side. The little gem is called Tukino, and being smaller than it is bigger brothers, gives a great getaway from the commercial ski fields and the crowds.
