Visitor Reviews of Whakapapa

I've been skiing Whakapapa and Turoa for the last 8 years. It's good on a good day, but they don't come everyday. It's exposed and both resorts share the most "closed days" out of all NZ resorts. It gets the most snow, but it needs it to cover the rocks.
Whakapapa needs about 1.3m and Turoa needs about 1m to get a decent run. Anything below that, you'll need to avoid rocks.
No offence, but Andrew (whoever wrote the first review), I seriously doubt you skied from Top to the chateau. you'd be lucky to ski even half that. Please.
Don't get me wrong, on a good day, Whakapapa and Turoa are magic. but don't have your hopes too high, and you have to factor in closed days. The features at both ski fields are damn fun and interesting which keep me going year after year.
But it's not an American, Japanese, or EU ski field. Don't be fooled. Please.
