Ruapehu is a volcano which means it has wicked terrain, Turoa on the south side is awesome. There is loads of off-trail terrain to explore with plenty of fun and interesting on trail runs. It is also a great spot for learning as there are lots of runs and some areas where it is quite wide. They also have a park (or parks if you're lucky) set up most of the time. It is a tricky maunga (mountain) to plan for as the weather can change at any time. It's best to stay in the area for a week or plan trips last minute (literally the night before) to score epic days.
