Being from Brisbane, Ruapehu has been our 'go to' mountain for the last 20 years. Breath-taking scenery. Wonderful Kiwi friends. Great hospitality. So easy to get to for us. Fly to Wellington (or Auckland), 2 hours. Drive to Ohakune, 4 hours. It used to be even better when we could fly direct to Palmie and drive for only 2 hours. Have skied the South Island. It's good and has some variety but Ruapehu beats it because the drive up the mountain (from Ohakune) is only 17 minutes. Can't beat that! On cruddy days, there are other activities. Spring is best for more stable weather.
