There has been a public outcry over changes made to Mt Ruapehu parking.

Ruapehu Alpine Lifts has introduced a new online booking system, available from July 22.

The new changes come after frustration over congestion at the ski fields during peak season.

But customers who had already bought seasonal passes in advance are outraged they now have to book car parking as well.

An online petition calling for Ruapehu Alpine Lifts to axe the change has already garnered more than four thousand signatures.

Chief executive Jono Dean joined Tim Dower to talk about the changes.
