Avalanche Course

Avalance course through Hilary Outdoors!!! See here for more details.

This is a one day course on the 1st August. 

We will go up to Ruapehu on the Friday, stay somewhere, do the course on Saturday, and probably stay another night leaving sunday to ski, explore, build snowmen, etc.

You must also buy a lift pass for the Saturday or have a season pass - these can be purchaced through the Whakapapa website. 

Prerequisites of going: 

- Must have done an AIC course, or had good experience in snowy terrain. Knowing how to use an iceaxe, crampons is essential. 

- Although spaces are limited to six people, this is not a first come first served. Spaces will go to people who will use the skills the most, and who will give back to the club the most.

- If you have a car.... that's great ;) 

- If you want to go you should probably talk to either the Chief Guide or Assistant Chief Guide.

Cost is TBC but the club will be subsidising it a bit.
