Mt Ruapehu skifield crews have been battling the elements to get ready for the 2021 ski season.
During the past few weeks, the crew at Tūroa has pulled a new High Noon Express cable up the Movenpick, across Blyth Flat, all the way up and around the High Noon Express.
With splicing complete, followed by straightening and tucking, the team will now finish a few other tasks on the High Noon lift before moving down the mountain to complete the lower lifts. The slopes will then be ready, as soon as snow allows, for the winter season at Tūroa.
"Our summer team have done an amazing job through a particularly complicated piece of work and we're proud of their commitment to doing the mahi so we all can enjoy an epic winter ahead," Tūroa ski area manager Mat Jonsson said.
