Climb and Ski Descent from Mt Ruapehu Crater Lake

A GoPro video of a ski mountaineering trip on Mount Ruapehu, Turoa side. It briefly covers a skinning up on touring skis, followed up a climb up to the 'saddle' over looking the Crater Lake.

The ski out in late afternoon mid winter snow several days after a fresh dump was pretty nice. It goes through the 'best bits' of the off trail area 'Out West' and through the remoter bits of Solitude.

Mt Ruapehu, Turoa. 'Heading Out West' 2015-08-22

Mt Ruapehu, Turoa, Sat 22 Oct 2015. A trip far out west to the edge of the Mangaturuturu Glacier and back in again, via the 'best bits'.  Way to avoid the crowds out in Solitude.
