Turoa Ski Fields

Accommodation and Facilities

Turoa offers an unrivaled winter experience for all.

Boasting the largest vertical drop of any resort in Australasia, the high altitude and south west facing slopes means plenty of dry snow from July until September and spring snow as close to perfection as you'll get during October.

Turoa's terrain is Mother Nature's answer to the perfect alpine playground for both skiers and snowboarders. Vying for your attentions are extensively groomed slopes, challenging black runs and secret powder stashes, not to mention the great natural half pipes and numerous different hit lines for the adrenaline junkies.

From the purpose built Alpine Meadow beginners area through to the Mangaehuehu glacier, Turoa presents terrain for all skills and all ages.

When the sun begins to set over Mount Taranaki, all roads lead to Ohakune, the North Islands favourite apres snow destination. A town alive, where skiers and boarders can dine, or simply relax and relive the day's adventures.
