From Tūroa skifield car park at the end of the Ohakune Mountain Road, walk or skin up the Home Run cat track to Broadbents Flat and the upper western edge of the ski field. One-way lift tickets are not available on this side of the mountain. From about 2200m begin a rising traverse in a northerly direction, aiming for a broad ridge at about 2350m, and on (over rough scree by late summer) into the Mangaturuturu Glacier basin. Pare Col is at the head of this snowfield, overlooking Te Wai ā-moe (Crater Lake).
