Mountain Signage
Our goal is to prevent as many ‘preventable’ accidents as we possibly can here at Mt Ruapehu and part of our hazard management strategy includes the use of various safety signs to convey messages to you, our customers.
We have included some of the most common signs you will see while visiting the ski area, we recommend that you become familiar with what they look like and what they mean. It is also a great idea to talk to any children that you are bringing to the snow about these basic signs to ensure they also know what they mean.
 |
ClosedClosed to all, an explanation of why will be shown in yellow below. Do not enter any area marked by these signs. A rope will join these signs for clarity. |

Danger CliffThis sign is placed in the proximity of cliff hazards, if you do not want to ski or ride over a cliff, do not pass these signs. A rope may be present connecting these signs for increased clarity. |
CautionThese are placed in areas where increased attention is required by the snow user, common examples include icy patches, rocks on the snow, trails merge etc. A yellow explanation will usually be placed below this sign to qualify the hazard. |

SlowSlow means slow, these are placed in areas where bottle necks occur or where a designated SLOW area is placed. Beginners frequent these areas and people travelling too fast will be asked to leave. |
