Tukino skifield is located on the eastern face of Mount Ruapehu, in the central area of the North Island, New Zealand.
A club managed field, Tukino is open to the general public and both skiing and snowboarding are popular.
The ski field area is serviced by two permanent rope tows, a portable rope tow, and an over-snow vehicle providing 'cat skiing' where customers are driven to the upper reaches of the ski area, enabling them to ski or board the entire height of the field. The terrain includes a learner slope, intermediate and advanced technical terrain, and off piste areas.[1]
Tukino is known for its untouched trails, uncrowded slopes, friendly atmosphere and good weather being on the lee side of the mountain. Day visitors will want to pack a lunch as there is no food service available.
