Just a reminder that if there is any club gear out there from this or any other club trips please bring it along tomorrow night as during the break we will be meeting at the Welsh Dragon bar down town and access for gear returns is a little harder :)

We will also be wearing helmets when on the snow and ice and since we may not have enough club climbing helmets if you have a cycle helmet could you please bring it along. You will also need eye protection ...

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. ...
