From Midday Report, 12:43 pm on 30 June 2023

Mount Ruapheu's ski fields are opening to skiers from tomorrow, after been thrown a last minute lifeline loan by the Government.

It looked like Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields would stay closed this year, after the operators went into liquidation last week, but the Government has stepped in and given them a $5 million loan.

The Chief Executive of Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, Jonathan Dean, spoke to Perlina Lau.
