The Ngauruhoe Trophy Race
Unfortunately, due to lack of snow, our 2024 race has been cancelled. We hope to able to host this iconic race in 2025!
Thanks to our 2024 sponsors that generously offered to support us.
The last Ngauruhoe Trophy Race was held on Saturday 17 September 2022
The race was held at the top of “The Gut” Race Course.
The event was open to Ski Clubs of Mt Ruapehu.
We accepted Pre-Registration for this event. All details are contained in the links below. On the day registration was at the Lorenz' Bar & Cafe (LBC) and we accepted up to five teams per club depending on demand.
The Custodians Race was back by popular demand. Clubs could pre-register their custodian or enter them on the day using the same form as for teams. Anything goes in this race...the custodian just needs to get through the start and finish gates on skis or board – costumes are encouraged!
