Sledging!!!

We're hoping the new Snow Factory at Whakapapa will be busy making snow daily over the summer season!!  If so, Sledging will be available in the Plaza at the top of the Bruce Road in front of the main buildings (Lorenz's, retail shop etc).  There's a charge for this and hire of sledges as it does cost to manufacture snow in summer!!
