Mount Ruapehu Intermediate Skiing

At Whakapapa, the runs off the Waterfall Express chair and the Waterfall T-bar are among the best prospects, with wonderful scenery. Those in search of fairly un-challenging off piste will make for the Far West T-bar and the Black Magic area, particularly good on powder days.

The Park Lane and Movenpick quad chairs provide lower and mid-mountain access to the main intermediate slopes. The Giant chair at Turoa and the Jumbo T-bar above it access a variety of blue cruisers, including the Bypass Trails, Show Big Bowl, Vertigo, Breadrun and the long Show Off run all the way back to the base.
