A couple of corrections, Whakapapa ski area is located on the north western side of Mt Ruapehu, not the southern side. Turoa is located on the southern side. The image you're showing labelled Turoa is actually taken at Whakapapa. (note from the editor: Debbie, could you write to me at help@snow-forecast.com to tell me here there are errors in the text/images related to Whakapapa and Turoa ski areas. Cheers, Michelle)
