After a nice big dump of powder, I would prefer Turoa to anywhere else in New Zealand. Last season after the big late dump I skied from 2500m to Ohakune at 600m, down the 16km road and into my front door, it was an experience all right. Ohakune has been dubbed the winter party town of the North Island, with awsome bars and restaurants, a nightlife not to be missed. The mountain mardi gras, is the highlight of the North Island ski season, in mid-winter, a mass party takes place in Ohakune with snow half-pipes set up to the drunken happiness which continues throughout the night, you can brave the cold and dance to the slick beats of contempary New Zealand music on the main street of the junction with massive fires to keep the party-goers warm, or you can brave the hefty entry-fees of the top bars in Ohakune. It is a night not to be missed. The mountain is huge with over a thousand hectares of terrain in Turoa alone, and you can explore out west for miles and still be back home in time for tea, or you can take the treck up to the top of the mountian, about 2700m above sea level and ski down the route that the lava travels. When you are up there on the top, be careful not to fall into the lake, because it is hot and the water has many volcanic chemicals in it and don't go out of the boundary of Turoa by yourself, and take a transistor or cellphone to tell people if you are in trouble because the weather can change very quickly and temperatures can fall dramatically. Taking in the wind-chill factor, temps can feel as low as -35c. Wind at Turoa is not very nice and the sun doesn't reach the resort until 9:30am so dress up very warm in the morning. But in the afternoon on a fine day, the temps can reach 5 degrees which feels like 25 degrees, it seems really hot(I've seen people ski down the mountain naked on many occasions!!!). It is my home ski resort, and with the new $30 million development taking place on new chair lifts and things of that caper, Turoa is an experience not to be missed.
