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
Kia ora koutou from a cool and cloudy Whakapapa, with the rain having moved on.After the rain of the past couple of days finally eased, our grooming team got to work overnight rebuilding trails and getting them back into shape for you. We even saw a cheeky dusting of light snow to freshen things up.Today, the Valley T-bar, Knoll Ridge T-bar and Delta Quad are expected to start spinning from 10am. The Far West T-bar will begin the day on hold as work continues on rebuilding that area. Rockgarden, Terraces, Honeymoon and Carpet 3 in Happy Valley are now closed for the season but to get this far into spring with the snow we've had is something special. There's still plenty of great skiing and snowboarding to be enjoyed up on the upper mountain.Plenty of turns still to be had see you out there.
