We will be driving to the DOC campsite just outside Whakapapa village on Friday night, no walking required to get there.  Then on Saturday morning we will be driving to the hut in Iwikau village on the Whakapapa ski field from where will instruct on the snow both days. 

Any gear not needed for day trips from the hut can be left there. There won't be any tramping as such but all of the usual tramping gear will be needed.
