Mt Ruapehu is located in the middle of the North Island of New Zealand. It's a popular destination for skiing, snowboarding, hiking, nature lovers and holiday goers. Ruapehu is home to two ski fields, Whakapapa and Turoa.

We stayed at Powderhorn Chateau in the small town of Ohakune. It's a warm and cosy accommodation with friendly staff, located roughly 20 mins from Turoa and about 45 mins from Whakapapa.

Whakapapa is NZ's largest ski area. It's also where you'll find Happy Valley, a fully self contained learners' area with a gentle slope for beginners. Furthermore, it's home to the Sky Waka, New Zealand's longest gondola ride.

We recommend booking online in advance to skip the queues. Just remember to collect your snow pass first before you go pick up your rentals and allow yourself at least an hour for finding parking, collecting your snow pass card, going down to get your rentals and getting kitted out. It can get very busy!

TIP: when booking online, if you're choosing multiple different types of passes/packages (like what we had i.e. one ski rental with group lesson and one snowboarding rental), the transactions need to be done separately. The website doesn't seem to let you put it all together in one single transaction.
