Organiser: Béatrice Desy

A bit more technical alpine trip for leaders of snowcraft (which will happen two weeks later). The specific objectives will be decided closer to the date depending on the conditions on the maunga, but we will be mindful of people's level of confidence & expertise whilst trying to push for a cool alpine route. On our journey, we will also review the curriculum of snowcraft 1 to make sure everybody is happy to teach those techniques. 

We will most likely camp either at Mangawhero or Mangahuia depending which side of Ruapehu we drive up. Possibility of Saturday winter camping on the plateau if everybody is into that and we get ideal conditions. Also happy to look into other accommodation options closer to the date, but lodge costs can be prohibitive for small groups (and camping in the cold yay!). 

Other details TBD.
