Ruapehu
Ruapehu, is an active stratovolcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand.
Ruapehu is one of the world's most active volcanoes[1] and the largest active volcano in New Zealand. It is the highest point in the North Island.
Ruapehu has two commercial ski fields, Whakapapa on the northern side and Turoa on the southern slope. They are the two largest ski fields in New Zealand, with Whakapapa the larger. The private Tukino field is on the east of the mountain. The season is generally from June to October but depends on snow and weather conditions.
