All eyes are on Ruapehu to see what happens with the future ownership of its ski fields. 

Cabinet has approved seven million dollars to keep Ruapehu Alpine Lifts running.  

It includes a $4.3 million loan to the under-liquidation company.  

Ruapehu Mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking that they're looking forward to a resolution to the ownership issue of the company. 

He says they just want to get this season out of the way and then they'll wait with interest to see what happens.
