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

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.
