Review of Mt Ruapheu, Turoa Ski Field

Local field, and has always been amazing.

Local field, and has always been amazing.

Hard to give an unbiased review of this place as I've been snowboarding here for 20 years.
So I won't. Up front before you continue on this review is subject to my long years experience riding Turoa and Ruapehu in general.

Some things change, some stay the same.
Field is unyielding and varied based on coverage. If you time it right you can ride all day without waiting in queues for too long.
I've always thoroughly enjoyed riding here, and the whole mountain in general.

Cafe's are always busy so be prepared for that, Snowflake especially, but their burgers are worth the wait. Up to $20 fir a burger, bear in mind you're on a mountain.... buying gourmet food no less Priced to match, all things considered.

Mountain wide, staff are always fantastic, friendly and helpful.
