Once you're in the Ruapehu district, getting to the slopes is easy. The access roads to both of the ski areas are by far the best in New Zealand. They are fully sealed all the way and are suitable for campervans. On occasion chains or four wheel drives are required but we can fit chains for you for just $25 while you stay warm in your car.
