Tukino

Tukino ski field is located on the eastern face of Mount Ruapehu, in the central area of the North Island, New Zealand.

The field is a club managed field, but open to the general public. The ski area is serviced by two tows and an over-snow vehicle giving access for skiing and snow boarding. Tukino is known for its untouched trails, uncrowded slopes, friendly atmosphere and good weather. Accommodation is available at Tukino for those that want to stay and play, but bookings are essential. Access is via the Tukino access Road from the Desert Road, and is suitable for four wheel drive vehicles only during the winter months. Transport can be arranged by contacting the skifield.
