Tūroa Ski Area Prepares for 2025 Winter Season
Tūroa Ski Area on Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand, has announced its plans for the 2025 winter season. The area will open for hospitality and snow play in Alpine Meadow from May 31, with skiing and snowboarding set to begin on June 28, coinciding with the start of New Zealand school holidays. Joanna Campbell, Tūroa's Marketing Manager, stated that the team is prepared to welcome visitors back to Mt. Ruapehu for the winter season.
Starting May 2025, Tūroa will introduce new pass options, including multi-day anytime passes and two, five, and seven-day consecutive passes. These options aim to provide flexibility for visitors who don't want to commit to a full season pass. Tūroa boasts New Zealand's longest winter ski season, offering good value with its early bird season pass.
The ski area is expected to remain open for sightseeing and snow play until October 5, with upper mountain skiing and snowboarding continuing through the October long weekend, subject to weather and snow conditions. Skiers and riders are encouraged to purchase early bird season passes online at turoa.com before May 14, 2025.
