With such a huge start to tge season with an incredible snowfall it’s important to be making good decisions in the backcountry
One of the best storm to start the season and there’s still plenty to come.

A great day out recently on the Grand Traverse of the Remarkables vis Double and Single Cone. This is an absolute classic, easily accessible alpine traverse suitable in all seasons and easily done in a single day from either Wanaka or Queenstown

Just back from another summit of Mt Aspiring / Tititea with Jean and Jack Beaumont - an amazing mother and son team. Despite a bit of dodgy weather at the start of the trip we got into the park and summited on the 7th followed by walk out via Bevan Col and an evening at Aspiring Hut

Spring is here and with it increasing hazard from wet loose avalanches. Other issues we see often are heavy loads ( Seracs ) triggering slab avalanches from way above you.

Deep snow and big grins! Mt cook heliski - excellent times and plenty of snow. We’ve got more snow in the forecast in the coming days. Give us a call to book 😎

While it looks amazing and beautiful it’s pretty hazardous out there right now.
When the gates open going slow to investigate the new snow will keep us all safe.
