Hey,

just letting you know that season passes for next years ski season on Ruapehu are on sale for $370 (or $350 if you held one in 2009), and if you buy before November 30 (next Monday) then you can get that same price for the next 3 years...

I've just bought one, so if you're thinking you'll be up the mountain a bit next year then now's probably a good time to get one! Then hopefully I'll have some mountain buddies to go skiing with next year :)
