Tukino Ski Field is a club field located on the eastern slopes of Mt Ruapehu. This small club field offers great on and off-piste riding, uncrowded runs, and a friendliness only found at club fields.

Tukino has the following facilities: ski & snowboard lessons, mountain education courses, volunteer ski patrol, ski development squad, club races and social events, great value ski & accommodation packages for non-members.

Tukino enjoys typically more stable weather than the western side of Ruapehu, making it a great alternative to the big guys on the other side of the mountain!

Ski and snowboard equipment hire is not available at Tukino, but gear can be hired nearby in Taupo or Taihape.
