We are currently looking for an experienced registered electrician & lift maintenance mechanic at Turoa Ski Area. Make sure you click here for your dream job - you won't find a better place to work with a fun team and good times!
The relocation of the Nga Wai Heke Chairlift (formerly the Highflyer Chairlift) now has the towers in place and is on schedule for the 2012 winter season. This is a photo of the drive station being erected. We aim to have this completed by the end of the weekend. The haul rope which is the next significant milestone should be up and spliced by the end of next week.
Love winter? Love ruapehu!
