2010. I have put aside June and July for travelling to schools. Please book early so I can synchronise bookings.
JGAT Pack orders have started coming for this year. Please order early as early posting ensures the best use of the packs makes the packs available to more schools.
One pack per student allows each person to carry their own transceiver, shovel and probe.
2009 had one school ordering 35 packs twice for two different school trips to the snow. Auckland Grammar is setting a great example here teaching their students about correct mountain safety and equipment.
Another 3 fatalities in our mountains in July/August shows the necessity for everyone to be constantly aware of the avalanche risks.
Check out the avalanche website before you go. www.avalanche.co.nz also a seven day forecast can be seen at www.metvuw.co.nz
