DON'T GO TO RUAPEHU!!!

Go to the south island for sure, Ruapehu isn't that great, the south island is sooooo much damn better, send me a personal message sometime and I'll tell you all about and try hook you up with some rad peeps.

It's sad but true, Ruapehu isn't that flash... weather is always crap and if you go for a weekend, you're usually lucky if you get one day. But all that aside, spring skiing is pretty good with heaps of backcountry to explore (especially out either side of Turoa), but I really would stick with the South Island!!!
I wish I could ski ALL the time in winter - instead of just most of the time...

Oops, I forgot, Turoa has a pretty good terrain park though (except for the halfpipe which was only ever decent when they were having a snowboard contest but otherwise they would let it fall apart - but that may have changed)
