Turoa

Turoa Ski Area is New Zealands’ highest ski field and has the longest vertical run in Australasia, and offers an unparalleled winter experience for all. The high altitude and south west facing slopes, means plenty of dry winter snow from July until September, and perfect corn snow in October, for awesome skiing and boarding.

Like Whakapapa, the beginner area at Turoa (Alpine Meadow), is separate to the main ski area so beginners can learn in a safe environment - its a gentle and sheltered haven for the first time rider.

Turoa's terrain is nature's answer to the perfect terrain park.  The upper mountain offers tricky chutes and steeps abound to challenge the expert. The wide, open slopes of Turoa provide plenty of great cruising, and the formed Terrain Park give riders a specially designed area to practice their tricks.

Popular annual events at Turoa include the Mardi Gras Big Air, Spring Festival, and the Peak to the Powderkeg multisport race.
