Avalanche Awareness Course - the latest!

aka Winter Backcountry Awareness Course with Aspiring Guides

Our 4 day course is all about teaching you the smart way to access the NZ backcountry.  Avalanche awareness, terrain selection, transceiver searching and avalanche recovery are all part of this.  But in addition, we teach you how to survive in the backcountry with skills like navigation and building emergency shelters.   Our Black Peak Hut is a unique location for this.  Located at 1800m far from any commercial ski field you are in the true NZ Backcountry  (not just ducking the ropes at a ski field).  

Check out the photos from our latest course just back on Monday.
