There’s an uncertain winter ahead for Mount Ruapehu's ski fields.

Whakapapa Holdings has pulled its bid on the Whakapapa side of the mountain, claiming there's not enough Crown funding.

It comes as a conditional agreement for Pure Turoa to run the Turoa ski field has been signed.

Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking that the change of government has probably stretched out the situation.

He says the business community is concerned by the mountain's tenure, and he's waiting with interest to see what happens.
