Winter skiing experiences on New Zealand's North Island. The North Island has three fields on Mt Ruapehu, including Whakapapa, the largest in New Zealand.
Whakapapa, 6km above Whakapapa Village in Tongariro National Park, has 30 groomed runs. There are plenty of snowboarding possibilities, cross-country, downhill and ski touring, and the highest lift access in the country. You can drive yourself up to the slopes or take a shuttle minibus from Whakapapa Village, National Park township, Taupo or Turangi.
Smaller Turoa has a beginners' lift, snowboarding, downhill and cross-country skiing. There's no road toll or parking fee and daily ski-area transport is available from Ohakune (16km away), which has the liveliest aprés-ski scene in the north.
Club-operated Tukino is on the eastern side of Mt Ruapehu. It's quite remote, 14km down a gravel road from the sealed Desert Rd (State Highway 1), and you need a 4WD vehicle to get in (or make a prior arrangement to use club transport). Because access is so limited the area is uncrowded, but most runs are beginner or intermediate
