The future has been secured for Whakapapa skifield after DoC today granted a 10-year concession.

Whakapapa Holdings has signed up to run the Whakapapa skifield on the iconic North Island mountain for the next decade.

It's taken multiple Government bail-outs and years of talks to reach this point - since Ruapehu Alpine Lifts folded in 2022. 

Whakapapa Holdings Chief Executive Dave Mazey says an environment with less time pressure will help with developing a long-term future for the skifield.
