Turoa, Mt Ruapehu, has a range of ski passes that allow you to access either just the beginner area or the whole mountain. These will differ depending on your age, and what time you ski during the week. Both Whakapapa & Turoa day passes are the SAME price, and usable on either field, at any time during the ski season.
All passes need to be brought ONLINE at Mt Ruapehu.com. This is the quickest way to get them. Once you have paid for them online, you will receive a confirmation email with a QR code. Scan this code on their self-serve ticket kiosks at the base of the mountain to collect your passes
If you plan on skiing on a midweek day, remember to utilize the cheaper midweek ski pass when selecting your pass online
Season passes are available from October, and will raise in price every month until the next year’s ski season in June. A great way to maximize your ski dollar is to purchase early bird season passes in October. These usually go for $400 for an adult, & $250 for a child. This equates to about 3 days of skiing before you ski for free for the rest of the season! A Mt Ruapehu season pass allows you to ski as much as you like on either Whakapapa or Turoa, for one up-front cost before the season begins. You also receive some great bonus perks such as half-price passes for your friends, and discounts at the cafe’s and retail shops on the mountain.
