Hey,

was just wondering if anyone else is planning to get away skiing much this winter? I was thinking of getting a season pass for Ruapehu, but theres not much point if no one else does!

They're significantly cheaper if you buy them by 30 April - $409 or $359 for students as opposed to $719/$619 respectively from May 1st! And given a day pass is $83 it doesn't take much skiing to make it worthwhile...

Also its handy for climbing, as you can get to the bottom of the climbs on Ruapehu real fast while laughing at the suckers who have to walk up thru the skifield for 2 hours! And don't worry if you haven't skiied much/ever I only picked it up in the last couple of years.

Let me know anyway, I should also be able to take a few days off work for mid-week missions or extended weekends to avoid the crowds.

Cheers,
