Mt Ruapehu is an active volcano, surrounded by three other active volcanoes.
Mt Ruapehu is situated in Tongariro National Park, meaning there are all sorts of restrictions on what can and can't be built here - such as newer, more reliable ski lifts, sufficient cafe and toilet facilities, better medical facilities etc.
Mt Ruapehu is extremely craggy and rocky, meaning you need a snow base of at least 1.5m to allow for safe and adequate ski runs.
What an obviously brilliant place to build a ski resort.
