Turoa is an awesome destination. The terrain is varied and there is something for all levels. It has recently been taken over from the administrators and now runs separately from Whakapapa. I was lucky enough to be there for 10 bluebird days in a row last August with a snow base in excess of 2 metres and it was reportedly the best snow in the world at the time. Midweek is the time to be there, sometimes on a Tuesday/Wednesday it feels like there's only about 40 of us using the top lift. The weather can be unpredictable, but let's face it, bad weather generally means more fresh snow right?
