It’s almost mid-summer, but thinking about some cool water ice and fresh pow is a nice way chill on a warm morning in Mt Cook.
We’ve updated our winter mountain guiding trip info for 2012. Check this out at AlpineGuides.co.nz
Helicamp – new for 2012
Guides Trev Streat and Ben Taylor had some inspired thinking whilst digging snow profile pits last winter. How about short, lightweight spring touring trips in Wilderness Heliski’s stunning Liebig Range terrain? Why not?
Helicamp starts this September. You can choose to join a scheduled group, or put together a private team for a 4 or 5 day adventure.
We helicopter our groups in and out of the mountains. Accommodation is in salubrious snowcaves and expedition style tents.
These campsites are plonked on the top of ridge crests, with outrageous views across the big peaks of the Aoraki/Mount Cook region. The first run of the day is at your doorstep. Literally.
ICE Climbing Expedition Makeover
We took a hard look at our 5 day water ICE course and trimmed down the price for this winter. We now also include a flight out of the mountains, taking out a lot of the hassle of exiting, especially if there is deep snow on the valley floor. Take a look at the new improved price, and dates for next July ›
