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. Both skiing and snowboarding are popular.

The skifield area is serviced by two permanent rope tows, a portable rope tow, and an over-snow vehicle providing 'cat skiing' where customers are driven to the upper reaches of the ski area, enabling them to ski or board the entire height of the field. The terrain includes a learner slope, intermediate and advanced technical terrain, and off piste areas.

Tukino is known for its untouched trails, uncrowded slopes, friendly atmosphere and good weather being on the lee side of the mountain.
