Kia ora,

Some weeks have passed since we shared an update on the 2023 season. Behind the scenes, many have been working hard to prepare for a 2023 season, and a future of snow sports upon Mt Ruapehu beyond that.

While we await further direction on the coming ski season and the future beyond 2023, we are pleased to announce we will soon begin selling 2023 Season Passes. We expect our sales period to launch within the next four weeks and will provide more updates on this as soon as possible.

A 2023 Season Pass will give you access to the full 1050 hectares of world-class freeride terrain, across both Whakapapa and Tūroa.

Further to that, we can share that:

• We will continue our focus on sustainable guest numbers. Season Pass sale numbers will be capped, and only available to purchase during the campaign period.
• We are taking a different approach to our 2023 season passes, with options to buy with more confidence and greater peace of mind. We want to acknowledge the challenges of the last three years and give you more options in your Season Pass purchase.
• A Mt Ruapehu Season Pass will include the same benefits you know and love, including discounts off food and beverage, retail, and lessons, and 50% off ‘buddy’ passes.
• Our 2023 operations will be a little leaner than some previous years, but will represent the best of our operations, and top to bottom skiing and snowboarding (snow conditions permitting).
• A 2023 Mt Ruapehu Season Pass will remain the best value skiing and snowboarding in New Zealand.
• All Season Pass purchase monies will be held in a third-party trust account until certainty can be given as to the 2023 season opening. If Mt Ruapehu is still unable to open then all Season Pass purchase monies will be refunded (once the season is underway, standard terms and conditions will apply).

While a resolution to the current Voluntary Administration of Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Limited (RAL) has yet to be concluded, discussions and negotiations are continuing, and key stakeholders remain hopeful that an acceptable outcome can be achieved.

Work continues alongside key stakeholders to realise a future for Mt Ruapehu beyond the 2023 season. The Administrators continue to work with the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) and its Kānoa – RDU, to present a plan to creditors which could include establishment of a new business entity to take activities on Mt Ruapehu into the future, including raising capital. An outcome for Mt Ruapehu Life Pass Holders will be realised through this process. Further updates on the progress of this work will be shared as it comes to hand.

We will provide further details of the Season Pass offering in the next few weeks.
