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.

Approach to the Takitimu's

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

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.
