A lack of snow has brought an abrupt halt to the ski season at the Turoa skifield on Mt Ruapehu - but it's not a complete right off just yet.
Ruapehu Alpine Lifts which run the skifields at Turoa and Whakapapa says the lack of snow and a big drop in visitors has had a significant impact on its operations.
The impact will be felt at the bottom of the mountain in Ohakune which had been hoping for a bumper season.
Ben Wiggins who runs TCB Ski, Board and Bike talks to Karyn about the impact on the town.
