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.

Once again the day turns on for our epic and iconic Ski The Tasman! With 10-15cm of lite and dry snow we had the perfect conditions to give amazing skiing conditions. To add to this the incredible canyon lands had one of the best ski through caverns we’ve seen in years

Amazing day out skitouring in the Ben Ohau Range with a incredibly in wind effected pack. Pushing and lifting out skis through 40 cm of snow was incredible
Getting ready for a day of Heli accessed ski touring ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Amazing day out chasing the pow in the Jollie with @mtcookheliski
The view from @alpineguidesnz office this morning during #weather #observations
A short trip into Plateau Hut for an overnight Alpine experience on the Grand Plateau
Ski Touring and Avalanche Education go hand in hand. We’re definitely in the midst of an interesting and changing snowpack - if your keen to get out for the fresh pow make sure you’ve got the skills to get you and your mates out and back safely!
Back County Acalanche Education.
Conditions right now in the Alpine are simply excellent. Great climbing and travelling conditions early morning with softening snow towards the later afternoon.

Good to be back at work 😊
With another serious storm system hitting the Park we’re shut down and waiting for the terrain reset.
New snow amounts are looking pretty good and with fine weather from Wednesday we’re expecting to be flat out!

Realism in training. Yesterday our group witnessed this avalanche occur in front of them. The region around Wanaka has a deep persistent slab over a series of rain crusts and facet layers. These layers are deeply buried up in the start zones where thick hard wind slab can be found - it’s hard to trigger in these areas - however where the snowpack is thin it’s possible to have these weak layers collapse and the failure propagate up into the start zones. Large avalanches are possible currently on steep shady aspects ( SE TO S)above 1800m in the WANAKA BACKCOUNTRY
