We were in the area and decided to check out the ski fields (Whakapapa and Turoa) on Mt Ruapehu, which is the biggest on the North Island. For all you Lord of the Rings fans, this is the area also known as "Mount Doom" and "Mordor" from the movies. This is an active volcano, the last time it blew was 1995. I'm thinking we should head to the South Island for skiing!
