I love this mountain and always will. I may have a different perspective to many because I always stay in one of the ski lodges on Whakapapa. Staying on the mountain is a beautiful experience. I took a party of 10 to stay at our lodge in August 2023 and we all had an amazing time, it was a great snow season. We tried the same again in August 2024 but the snow gods were not forthcoming. However, we improvised and did bush walks, hot pools and other activities to make up for the lack of snow and conditions. I have been coming here since I was a tiny tot in the late seventies so my views are the same, always a great experience at Whakapapa.
