Guided ascents -Mountaineering instruction courses – Back country Avalanche courses - Guided trekking – Ski touring
9th September 2009 was a magic day: our 4th website went online, thanks to Jo from Spiderweb design and Iris. In general a great year and WELL DONE to all valued guests of Alpinism & Ski who ventured out with us into the great outdoors and had alpinism adventures of all shapes and sizes.
2010 saw the 10th anniversary year for our small but exquisite enterprise and Gaz the chief guide is as passionate as ever about his job while Iris continues to run base operations for the Alpinism & Ski activities but is making sure she gets some vitamin D and fresh air too.
Our European mountaineering season 2010 was fully booked, 2012 inquiries happening and Ski Touring during September and October in the Southern Alps of NZ was excellent thanks to the snow that arrived basically as we returned from the Swiss Alps. It’s become the norm upon our return beginning of September, to enjoy some fantastic ski days, winter mountaineering and back country ski touring.
For the NZ summer season, mountain guides are available to guide or instruct you in the Southern Alps. If you are thinking about doing an ascents trip or are interested in an alpine climbing and mountaineering instruction course, let us know in advance so that you have the best possible chance for us to turn that thought into a fantastic reality.
…. so stay in touch … Talk to you soon
Gaz and Iris
