Whakapapa and Turoa ski resorts are spread on the western and southern faces of the mountain and when combined create the largest ski resort in New Zealand offering up 1050 hectares (2595 acres) of rideable terrain. The resorts are not connected however you can drive between the resorts in about 1 hour.Get in quick!
