About 400 skiers used Turoa's Valley Rope Tow on the first two days of the Queen's Birthday Weekend. There was no skiing at Whakapapa but the 1st Chairlift was used for access only so that club members could prepare and stock their huts for the 1984 ski season. Conditions were icy — two non-skiers were injured. One suffered a broken ankle, the other a broken leg.
