Mount Ruapehu Boarding & Freestyle

There’s good terrain for all at Whakapapa: a halfpipe on Hut Flat, a beginners’ terrain park in the Rock Garden, and a more challenging park under the Waterfall Express chair. Snowboarders are in their element at Turoa, with a boardercross course and arguably the best terrain park in the country, off the Highflyer chair. There are also parks for beginners in the Alpine Meadow and Wintergarden areas.
