Another bailout for Ruapehu Alpine Lifts as the Government pours $7 million into the ski field. 

The operator has been running on a previous government bailout for over a year. 

Regional Development Minister Shane Jones says it's their last chance after the Prime Minister previously said no more money would be poured into the ski field. 

Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking he welcomes the move. 

He understands this is the last bailout and wants the operator to get its ducks in a row.
