This mountain is one of a kind with the funniest people that arrive to the awesome terrain that can turn on. This mountain is highly demanding but from skiing in other countries I must say I have had some of the best snow of all time, understanding where the snow is coming from is very key to skiing dry and rewarding pow. Both sides of Ruapehu needs to be skied to sunlight / snow direction / wind direction and of course not following the crowds, if all align I can ensure you one of a kind skiing experience. If you are skiing to experience the goods, try and ski with groups and with transceivers, Pinnacles can turn on early morning or arvo. Enjoy and take the experience in.
