Tūroa is open – Just needs a bit more snow
Yes, Tūroa Ski Area is officially open for the season. Like most of the Mt Ruapehu right now, it’s still waiting on more natural snow – but don’t worry, the bulk of it usually turns up in July and August, so the season’s right on track.
If you’re heading up with the kids, Alpine Meadow is open and Freddy’s Café, which is always a great spot for lunch or a hot chocolate break.
If you’re looking for something to do these school holidays, Tūroa’s still a great option. There’s snow to play in, the lifts are running, and it’s always fun getting the kids up the mountain for a day out.
