Fresh snow at Tūroa as the season continues

Friday’s mountain report described fresh overnight snow accompanied by strong southeasterly winds. Temperatures had dropped to −5°C at the Giant and −3°C at the base, bringing a winter feel back to the mountain.
With Whakapapa now closed for skiing and snowboarding, Tūroa offers the remaining opportunity to get some final turns in on Mt Ruapehu this season.
