Hi,

Yes, there is at lot of snow up there, so it is definitely worth going to Ruapehu!

I would be interested to join you for 2 (max.3) days for a trip there. I am off from Monday (18/08) afternoon on until the end of the uni holidays (31/08). I have stuff to do for uni, but if conditions are good I would love to go skiing. it could be anytime during the uni holidays (preferably when there is NO wind up there and some sun!) , so let me know when you go. I am a experienced skier and love the snow. I have no car unfortunately.

I think, the Vic Snowsport Club is going up in the second week of the holidays, which could be an option too, to go to the mountain.

Cheers,

Pascal.
