Stuart Nash: Tourism Minister has hopes of a long-term future for Ruapehu Alpine Lifts
The Tourism Minister has hopes of a long-term future for Ruapehu Alpine Lifts.
The Government has expanded its loan to the company by another $6 million, to give it more time to explore options, and open the ski fields next winter.

Stuart Nash told Mike Hosking people are keen to see the business continue to run.
He says after speaking to a number of key stakeholders yesterday, there's a willingness among them to make it work.
