Gavin’s close call | MSC Avalanche Story Series NZ Mountain Safety Council 2023-06-07 | South Island mountain guide Gavin Lang shares his near-miss experience with an avalanche while guiding on The Remarkables in Queenstown, New Zealand. His story reminds us to prepare and equip ourselves with the proper knowledge before any trip into Aotearoa’s mountains. Key learnings: 1. Always check the avalanche forecast pre-trip and continue to assess the terrain and identify hazards throughout your trip, helping you make informed decisions. 2. Equip yourself with the necessary rescue equipment for your trip and understand why you’ve decided to carry it (or not). 3. Prioritise training and education to develop essential avalanche safety skills. This will help you to identify hazards, assess the terrain, and respond effectively in challenging situations. 4. Always reflect post-trip and share learnings with yourself and your group. Understanding the decisions made before and during a trip is critical to developing as a mountaineer and improving your avalanche safety skills. 5. It's ok to turn back! As Gavin said, "I can think of three different occasions where I've backed off something when the likelihood of something happening was small or moderate, but the consequences have been either moderate or severe."The New Zealand Avalanche Advisory (NZAA) supports backcountry participants such as mountaineers, climbers, skiers and snowboarders, and alpine trampers and hunters, in avalanche risk areas in New Zealand. The NZAA provides an avalanche forecasting system in thirteen key locations across the country during the relevant avalanche seasons. The NZAA is owned and managed by the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council (MSC).

Above and Beyond | Mountaineering Research Presentation | NZMSC NZ Mountain Safety Council 2023-03-05 | The New Zealand mountaineering community is one full of rich history and deep passion. Mountaineering is interwoven into the fabric of our country’s history. From Māori using passes to move through the mountain ranges, to more modern-day heroics such as Sir Edmund Hillary, the mountains of Aotearoa are part of our identity.MSC analysis of avalanche incident data between 1999-2018 highlighted that of the 27 avalanche fatalities in NZ during this period, 70% of them involved mountaineers. These findings naturally raised some questions – why are mountaineers in New Zealand so overly represented in avalanche fatalities? There could be many explanations for this, and it’s unlikely there is just one reason. Factors could include our dynamic climate and ever-changing weather, or our unique terrain. MSC decided to embark on a body of work to understand more about the element we know the least about, and the one we may have the most ability to influence, the human factors. Specifically, the attitudes, behaviours and ultimately the mountaineering community culture towards avalanche safety. We encourage readers to carefully think about the findings presented throughout Above and Beyond, and as you do, to reflect on your own experiences and avalanche-related practices, both past and in the future. Our hope is that these findings will provide the platform for a healthy conversation and reflection, paving the way for improved mountaineering specific avalanche safety in NZ, and perhaps other parts of the world.Read more about the project here and explore the findings here: mountainsafety.org.nz/explore/above-and-beyond-mountaineering-research#MakeItHomeNZ #avalanche #research #mountaineering #mountains
Tongariro Alpine Crossing | Tramping (Hiking) Video Series | New Zealand NZ Mountain Safety Council 2022-11-30 | New 2022 VersionThe Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of the most incredible day walks in the world. Although beautiful, it can be dangerous if you are not fully prepared to enter an alpine environment. Extreme weather, terrain and distance have resulted in this track having the highest number of search and rescues for trampers in New Zealand. This video takes you through the entire track and shows you how to prepare for a successful day out so that you make it home safely.Produced by the NZ Mountain Safety Council with Quite Nice FilmsDeveloped in partnership with: Department of Conservation | MetService New Zealand | New Zealand Police | Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro | LandSAR | NZ Search and Rescue | TourismNZ | Tourism Industry Aotearoa | Visit Ruapehu | Love Taupo This 2022 updated video version is one of eleven proposed solutions to improve safety on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing made by an independent Issue Specific Advisory Group established in 2018. Led by MSC, with the support of Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro and Department of Conservation (DOC), the group suggested that subsequent versions should be translated into other languages. It also suggested replacing outdated footage and better demonstrating the length of hike, successful descent techniques and reinforcing alternative trip options.

The multi-day adventure takes riders and trampers back in time along the long-forgotten shared-use goldminers’ road. This impressive track weaves through diverse rugged environments from long alpine sections to exposed hills.

Want to do this track? Use the Plan My Walk app to build your own plan: planmywalk.nz/tracks/the-old-ghost-road Key learnings in this video: - Choose a time of year where the conditions match your experience level, and always check the forecast before setting out. Aim to ride during a fine weather window, but pack for all conditions. - Have a well-balanced and maintained bike and carry a repair kit. - Carry a mobile phone and a distress beacon to ensure you can contact search and rescue if something goes wrong. - Carry an emergency shelter and some extra food to get through an unplanned delay, you can find out more here. - Understand your own and your group’s limits. Stay in control, and when encountering trampers signal your approach and give way when appropriate. Stick together as a group throughout your journey. - Understand the facilities.

Richmond Ranges Alpine Route | Tramping (Hiking) Video Series | New Zealand NZ Mountain Safety Council 2021-11-28 | The Alpine Route in Mt Richmond Forest Park is considered by many to be the toughest part of the Te Araroa trail. It makes up just one section of the larger Richmond Ranges section from Pelorus Bridge to St Arnaud, though it can be attempted on its own for those not doing the Te Araroa Trail.
