A guide to New Zealand’s best backcountry terrain
This book is your essential guide to the best backcountry touring and ski mountaineering in New Zealand. Whether you’re new to the world of backcountry snowsports, an enthusiast looking for inspiration, or an international traveller sampling what New Zealand has to offer, this guide will help you plan your next adventure.
This guidebook builds on the 2003 NZAC guidebook Backcountry Skiing in New Zealand by James Broadbent. True to the philosophy of the original guide, this book covers the best terrain across all of New Zealand and features a wide variety of routes and locations to suit all levels of ambition and expertise.
The book includes over 200 new route descriptions and all updated information to help you explore New Zealand’s amazing alpine backcountry. A new format with a quick beta panel plus colour photographs throughout is designed to assist navigation and add extra inspiration!
