Snowboarder at Turoa - Image compliments Mt Ruapehu
Turoa:
Turoa (or Tūroa) is on the south-western side of Mt
Ruapehu. The area has been used for skiing since
the completion of the Mountain Road, but the first lifts
opened in 1978.
There are two beginner areas, and many
intermediate and advanced trails. The upper field is
a mix of natural pipes, steep drops, fast plains, and
more accessible slopes. The field is 500 hectares and
has 722 metres (2,369 feet) vertical drops.
The ski field is reached via the Mountain Road from
the town of Ohakune. The Mountain Road was built
by locals from Ohakune, mostly during weekends
after they formed the Mountain Road Association
in 1952. They aimed to open Ruapehu's southern
slopes for skiing, partly as a replacement industry for
the decline in logging which had sustained the town
for the previous decades
On a good day, it is possible to hike to the top of the
mountain with skis or snowboard in hand, view the
Crater Lake, and then ski back down to the field, or
Whakapapa. Also on a clear day, Mount Taranaki can
be seen.
