Favorite thing: Mt Ruapehu us a volcanic mountain situated in the central plateau region of the North Island of New Zealand. It's measured height is 2797 metres, and it is home to several skifields. Ruapehu last erupted in a lot of glory, in 1995 and 1995, so it is still very much an ACTIVE VOLCANO! This is an opportunity for those who are keen, to ski on an active volcano. Of course during volcanic activity the mountain is closed. And when the mountain is open for skiing, rest assured that the 'rumblings' of her are being very closely monitored.
