One mountain is home to two world class ski areas - Whakapapa and Tūroa, spanning over 1050 hectares of epic terrain. Choose from Day or Season Passes, depending on what you want to get out of your winter season.
Dedicated Beginner Area Day Passes are available for those just starting out, while Whakapapa or Tūroa Day Passes, give you access to all available lifts operating on your chosen ski area, conditions pending.
Both Whakapapa and Tūroa have dedicated sledding areas, with a gentle slope, up to three lanes, and a magic carpet to transport you back to the top. Please note Tūroa's sledding is closed for the season.
Sledding sessions are 1 hour long, and give you access to a sled and the sledding area, to slide down and ride up, as many times as you'd like within your session.
There are limited spots available, so its always recommended to book.
