Skiresort.info test report
Evaluated by Skiresort.info, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts.
The evaluation is done as follows
The Whakapapa ski area is centrally located on New Zealand's North Island. Well-developed roads lead from all sides of the North Island to Mt. Ruapehu and the ski areas. From State Highway 47, a mountain road leads up to the Whakapapa Base Station via Whakapapa Village. There are plenty of parking spaces available here. During busy times on weekends or holidays, you may have to park some distance from the base station. Shuttle buses are then available to take you to the base station. When the parking lots are full, no one is allowed up the mountain from Whakapapa Village. You should always check the road conditions before setting out and carry snow chains with you. A four-wheel drive vehicle is definitely an advantage. In unfavorable weather conditions, the road and the ski area remain closed.
