Anybody driving to Mt. Ruapehu on Friday evening and back Sunday evening from Auckland in late July?
Want to do my first ski lessons and looking for options to travel. Need one spare seat if anyone's going? Thanks so much.

Information
Ka hari te Rāhina katoa (Happy Monday everyone) from a clear but breezy Whakapapa.A clear night has given our grooming team the window they needed to tidy up after Saturday night's big storm, with trails looking fresh and ready.Happy Valley and Rangatira are scheduled to spin from 9am, followed by the Sky Waka gondola at 10am. The Valley and Knoll T-bars, Delta Quad, and West Ridge Quad are currently on hold. It's a windy one up top, and our crew has a fair bit of work to do to get these lifts ready. We'll reassess conditions and provide an update around 8am.Bruce Road is open but restricted to 4WDs or 2WDs with chains this morning. Carparks are on the slippery side, so please take extra care when arriving.It's a windswept start, but the lower mountain is looking tidy and ready for some solid turns see you out there!
