Turoa-Whakapapa Traverse
Two Mountain Traverse
Join a guide at Whakapapa or Turoa and make your way to the opposite ski area via the Crater Lake basin or explore massive amounts of terrain on the way. This trip can really cover some ground so a high level of fitness is required. Enjoy some of the hundreds of hectares of open country between the two ski areas and finish the day off with a drink on the café deck before being driven back to your car at your start point.
The day begins at either the Giant Café at Turoa or the Knoll Ridge Café at Whakapapa where you'll meet your guide and get kitted up with all the equipment you need for the day. Then it’s off to do a warm-up run, during which your guide will assess your skiing or boarding ability in order to tailor the day appropriately. All safety related equipment and a gourmet lunch are supplied so all you need to bring is a smile, camera and appropriate ski/board equipment and clothing.
