SKI REPORT
On Saturday at Turoa, 3,500 people used the slopes. Conditions were fine with fresh northwesterly winds. Turoa was closed on Sunday. At Whakapapa, 5,500 people went up the mountain on Saturday. Statistically, it was not very busy for the beginning of the school holidays. Park ranger, Paul Dale believes many people stay away because they imagine there will be large crowds. On Sunday 4,000 people ventured up the mountain but many would not have skied due to the pooT conditions. Six vehicles were broken into on Friday below the carpark at Whakapapa. Cars were parked there to avoid parking fees, but as a result car stereos, speakers and other items were stolen. Police have been informed and they along with the Parks Board will be monitoring the situation, said Mr Dale.
