"Sloping Off Lesser-known ski fields are often run by clubs and have the benefit of thinner crowds and the opportunity for skiers and boarders to glide and carve where others haven’t. Rainbow Ski Area near Nelson on the South Island is great for boarders and offers lessons from novice to expert. Further south, Porters Ski Area outside Christchurch features such runs as the appropriately named Big Mama and other trails that cater to intermediate and advanced riders. In the North Island, try the Manganui Ski Area on Mount Taranaki for cheap no-frills skiing (meaning no gear rentals on-site). And on the eastern side of Mount Ruapehu, there’s the friendly club-run Tukino ski field, which is often open when the rest of the mountain is shrouded in clouds."

The perfectly shaped volcano is breathtaking from every angle, and the walking tracks around the mountain are peaceful and full of lush greenery. Whether you're hiking to the summit or just enjoying the view from below, it's such a peaceful, magical place. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the Taranaki region.

More impressive in person but we had cloud bullies the day we were there. If the clouds spoil your view you can still enjoy the trails which are impressive in their own right.

Best and hardest hike that I ever experienced. 😍 Approximately it took 12-15hours to complete the track. (With breaks) ⏱️ Take enough water and foods. Recommend to start as early as possible. I suggest to wear a good hiking boots 🥾 when you guys hike. Good luck for all. 😀

Nice half day hike on the Pouakai Tarns trail, and rewarded with spectacular views if the clouds are cooperating. Highly recommended.

The hike is too steep to do without fitness, but the view at the bottom was great. The cloud is unpredictable so we were very happy to see the mountain.

Awesome hike, attempted climbing the summit in Mid Nov. but unfortunately there were still some snowy parts at about 2,100 vertical metres and we didn't go any further because of not being equipped properly. Some parts are pretty steep but technically easy. Just be careful at the scree field, which is very exhausting. The first part until the hut is very well maintained. After that comes a steep section with stairs and after that it's just a scree field which is the hardest part of it. Definitely will come back and attempt it again in the summer. The landscape is unique and breathtaking. So much to see. One of the highlights of our NZ trip even if we weren't able to hike all the way up. Oh and the clouds went by very fast. Weather changes suddenly so be prepared for everything and take your time.
