Turoa High Noon Express update

MT RUAPEHU 15 AUGUST 2018: High Noon Express final update from Ross Copland, Chief Executive of skifield operator Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (RAL).

A detailed report by wire rope experts has been peer reviewed by both the rope and lift manufacturer. Regrettably RAL has been advised that the haul rope is unsafe to operate.

A range of repair solutions have been explored in detail over the past 48 hours but none of the options gave us certainty that the lift would open again this season.

It's been a tough few weeks for the crew but the snow is still falling and we know how much you love this amazing place - see you here for a shred real soon. #weareturoa
