Hi there, we are looking for 2 spaces from Whakapapa village to the Ski fields in morning and return on Saturday and Sunday the 16 and 17 August. We are driving our converted van down to Whakapapa from Auckland and we think she will struggle with the drive from Whakapapa up to Ski fields. Will contribute to petrol money. Thank you so much!

Information
Morena and welcome to an absolutely stunning cool, clear, and crisp Whakapapa day!!Overnight we were presented with some fantastic snowmaking conditions. This will make for some great first tracks down the Sky Waka gondola first thing. This fine weather looks set to stay with us across the entire weekend. Lift facilities will open from 9am this morning.Work will continue on the Knoll T line and trails. At this stage it is looking like this work will continue into next week before we can get this open. We will keep you updated here.Tomorrow we have an Early Bird Breakfast on at the Knoll Ridge Cafe from 8am! Come set yourself up for the day by indulging in a big breaky and a coffee, while taking in the most spectacular view in the country prior to hitting the slopes from 9am!! The DJ's will be back tomorrow spinning tunes on the decks - KRC deck from 11am - 2pm, LBC deck from 2.30pm - 5pm. Come on up and enjoy the Whakapapa vibes!!!
