Turoa Snow History

Snowmaking Can Slow But Not Stop Glacier Melt

One idea being tested on several glaciers around the world in recent years has been to use snowmaking to create a layer of artificial snow in an effort to stop melting and even rebuild glaciers. However results of a study into using snowmaking on the Morteratsch glacier which has been running for two years in south-eastern Switzerland have found that while the process can slow melting, it does not stop it, nor does it stabilise the thawing glacier as a whole. In recent years glacial ice has more and more often been exposed to the direct heat of the summer sun as the ‘protective layer’ of winter snow is quickly melted off the ice during the spring. The darker ice

Have been riding Turoa/Whakas for 25 yrs or so now and it's easily the best hill in the country, terrain wise. You honestly can't beat it. Have been down south several times over the years, more so for the kids to get more time on skis as the weather is more reliable. Its got nothing on Ruapehu terrain wise, you get bored pretty quick down there. The only issue is the weather on Ruapehu. In winter it is hard to score bluebird with pow. You need to be 'johnny on the spot'. Spring, on the other hand, is epic. There is so much terrain up there. If you have never been go in September/October.
