Tukino Ski Area
Skiing and snowboarding without the crowds

Nestled onto the Desert Road side of Mount Ruapehu, Tukino offers adventure and lack of crowds, coupled with the friendliness and camaraderie only found on club fields. Sheltered from prevailing winds, the field is often clear when the rest of the mountain is in cloud. Tukino is snowboard-friendly and is open to alpine climbers as well as skiers. Access is via a 4WD road off the Desert Road about 20 kilometres north of Waiouru.
