What’s Mt Ruapehu like for snow/terrain but???? Anyone been there???? Give us a spiel!!!!

I rate Whakapapa and Turoa on Mt Ruapehu as the best commercial resorts in New Zealand (followed by Ohau). This is from a freeriding perspective. If you’re into park, you’re better off hitting up Queenstown or Wanaka. The only drawback with Mt Ruapehu is that it’s so open - so you can cop a few down days due to weather.

Told my sister about this deal as she’s moving to Auckland. She and her boyfriend were stoked at how cheap it is! Only wish I could make use of it…

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but I think the deal expires around nowish or very soon.

Ruapehu is the king of bad weather though, easily 20+ closed days each season.

As staff there, I’m a big fan of impromptu days off.  The paying customers, not so happy…

Do you still get paid for closed days?
