Calls to give Mount Ruapehu a break.

Ruapehu Alpine Lifts recently went into receivership, after years of financial difficulties.

Life Pass Holders have been asked if they'd support a new entity, paying two and a half thousand dollars to continue skiing on Mt Ruapehu.

Ongoing maintenance would also be funded by an up-to-250 dollar levy, for two or three years.

Uenuku Charitable Trust chair Aiden Gilbert says  he supports giving the maunga space for a while.
