The Regional Development Minister says Mount Ruapehu is highly likely to open for skiing this year.
The Government has decided to split the running of the mountain's ski fields and is supporting two bidders to take over.
Whakapapa Holdings and Pure T奴roa Limited are now expected to purchase the assets and business from Ruapehu Alpine Lifts.
