Quick walk in the Ruhaines today with a couple of forum members.
Snow was icing the balls at the top ND think we crawled a solid 150y as the snow was too deep.

Should have taken your skis. That was why they put the Rangi hut there in the first place.
You bastards were mad!!!!!!
We were after snow but we didn't think it was going to be that extreme haha.....we all had to take turns at the front as every few steps the frontman would end up waist deep in the snow. The two guys following just walked in his footsteps - easy peasy!Quote:

Looks chilly
Last time I was in there was with the family. My 10 year old fell off the bunk and bashed his nose up. Poor little guy as there was not much we could do for him up there.Quote:

Even the deer probably saw sense and moved on down the hill.
Nice pics.

Can't say I blame you for that would be easy to get into trouble.Quote:

@199p @Pop Shot. Yeah, they go low. When you leave the car zig zag your way up the track until you are on the track above the Mangawairiki stream (sp?). At a big beech tree right on the track, turn left and drop towards the stream (you might even find a track :) ). Go down to the stream and cross it. Then climb/sidle. You are now on the faces above Clifton's farm (don't drop too low or you will be trespassing). It's on these faces that the deer seem to winter. Especially when the WX is shit.
Don't tell too many people :)
