Is turoa harder than whakapapa to snowboard?
Mt Ruapehu here. What level of snowboarder are you? The answer to your question differs depending on the level of terrain you'll be riding. If you're just starting out you'll find the beginners' areas at Whakapapa and Turoa are both great. Whakapapa has a massive beginners' area with heaps of room to practice on. It has a slow-moving chairlift to get you up the slope so your legs get a wee rest after each run. Turoa's beginners' area is smaller but tends to get less people so there's still enough space to get the hang of things. It has a 120m carpet lift, which is like a conveyer belt on the snow - you just stand on it and it takes you up the slope - really easy! If you're an intermediate rider you'll probably find the smooth wide open groomed runs at Turoa easier than the slopes at Whakapapa. Plus you'll find you can access all the terrain at Turoa from chairlifts while the upper mountain at Whakapapa is mostly accessed by T-bar and that can be difficult (and tiring) for snowboarders to get the hang of.

Apirana Ngata was a extremely influencial New Zealander. He was the first Maori to complete a University Degree and later became a politician in order to represent Maori, who at the time were treated as second class citizens. He revived Maori culture and the Maori Language, which were both on the verge of 'extinction'. He is now immortalised on the New Zealand $50 note. His whakapapa is essentially his family tree and to Maori people this is an important aspect of what theys are. It sets out your bloodline and your ancestry. Apirana's Whakapapa is quite impressive and can be traced back to Maori Chiefs from the Ngati Porou tribes.
