Fantastic ski touring adventure traversing the Takitimu range in Southland in August 2023!
Thanks to Ruari and Sooji for letting me tag along, managed to put together a little bit of footage to share the joy of the adventure.

'How Good!' - The Takitimu Ski Traverse

Carrying skis down a dirt road with distant mountains

Approach to the Takitimu's

Skier in tussock

Beautiful tussock flats in the middle of the mountains and some snow

Skier in a low valley of the Takitimu Range

Skiing down through the valley that we thought we might be scrub-bashing! - we could even skin up the other side, as unlikely as it looks.
