KEY POINTS:
Two lucky Auckland readers of Herald Travel have won five-year passes to ski on Ruapehu.
The ski area operator, Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, launched the new five-season passes this month, and to mark the occasion offered to give away two of the passes - valued at $1550 for adults or $870 for children - to readers of our special issue on the New Zealand ski season.
The two winners are: Cathryn Bradly, of Paice Ave, Mt Eden, and Grace Birdsall, of Norana Ave, Remuera.
Those who missed out can buy a range of Ruapehu Alpine Lifts passes - including early-bird, season, five-year and life passes - by calling 0508 Ruapehu from 8am to 5pm any day or by visiting www.mtruapehu.com.
