Whakapapa Ski Vlog | MT RUAPEHU

We only managed 6 runs because IT WAS PACKED!!!
Whakapapa may very well be the finest ski field in the north island! The long queues and wait times are the only drawbacks.
The scenic drive remains unrivalled and the snow conditions were second to none. There was a massive dump just the day before which closed the ski field while grooming and maintenance work continued. Apparently some of the best snow we've seen in years!
Big thanks to the team at Whakapapa for giving us some epic groomed trails!
We are heading overseas for our first white Christmas and first ski trip out of the country so stay tuned to find out where 🤪

Wow

[@rukaks]

Loved the video, beautiful day for it. Tom seems like a nice person too

[@thecorporatebackpacker]

It absolutely was! Tom certainly was helpful in what would have otherwise been a sticky situation. Cheers for the comment 🤗

The long queue is not normal now they are super short

[@andreasaltmann4214]

Great Video! We are going to be there in a few days for the first time so really grateful for a familiarization of the slopes. I could even follow what you two did on the trail map. I think we'll end up doing exactly the same - staying on the upper Turtle run.

[@thecorporatebackpacker]

Really great feedback, thank you! Have a great time at Whakapapa 🤗

[@andreasaltmann4214]

@@thecorporatebackpacker we had a great time. We did the delta chair a few times like what you did from the look of things, but did not feel ready to do the full run down. Kudos to you skiing all the way down.

[@thecorporatebackpacker]

@@andreasaltmann4214 glad to hear! Fingers crossed next season will be even better than this one 😊

The big long queue isn’t normal

[@thecorporatebackpacker]

Suppose they're expected on a bluebird day!
