Snow and winter bookings
There are still spaces available for the Mahu Whenua Traverse this winter:
July: 25,28
August: 6,18
September: 7,9,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29
October: 2,4,6,8,10,12,14
Bookings can be made here: Turk Booking – Mountain Turk Club
If you plan to book the traverse please make sure you are up to it and read the documents below. The month of July is the most dangerous with a greater snow instability because of colder temperatures. September is safer (the 24 hours after a storm rule usually works well at this time of year) and by October you have hard snow in the morning and spring corn in the afternoon.
We will begin to remove some traverse dates and implement them for individual Turk booking. This allows groups to use the Turks for "destination skiing" where you get there with a few days food and hang about skiing the local basins.
