Whakapapa Adaptive Festival 2025

Kia ora -,

Spring has sprung a leak…so we are going to go ahead and call last ride this Saturday 25th! Please dig out your favourite Hawaiian shirt and join us for last laps on Saturday as Whakapapa closes out the Southern Hemisphere season.

Winter 2025…what a ride. This season was a story of new momentum. From sunset DJ sessions through to inclusive celebrations and legacy-events returning, this season saw Whakapapa back in business, with a new energy.

A real highlight: the return of the Northβ€―Islandβ€―Primary & Intermediate Schools Ski Championships β€˜NIPS’ after a six-year hiatus, here at Whakapapa from 25-27 August. This wasn’t just a race it was our signal that Whakapapa is re-investing in youth, community and development. Schools across years 1-8 travelled in to compete and after a successful programme we are confident numbers will build for 2026 and beyond.

As the winter matured, the snowmaking, grooming teams, and mother nature all played their parts. Coverage held, then eventually opened up to let us ski in the western terrain for the first time since 2023.

Perhaps a favourite chapter was the inaugural Whakapapa Adaptive Festival, held 26-28 September. This was more than another snowy weekend. It was an inclusive experience designed for adaptive skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Tailored lessons, volunteers, community, and smiles in abundance. A morning sled-session, group lessons, a fancy-dress race, even evening socials, every detail seemed aimed at belonging on the mountain.

From the first lifts spinning to the last events winding down, Winter 2025 at Whakapapa felt like a full-body embrace of what a mountain can give to its families, racers, clubbies, newcomers and experts. We’re thankful to our entire community and the Whakapapa whānau for being part of it.

My final acknowledgment must go to the staff of 25, you were something special, something that needs to be bottled! Your energy and welcome was next level and we owe you so many thanks for your effort through the ride.
