mt ruapehu, turoa out west, fresh tracks

after 12 days of 100k winds and snow the weather has cleared and our season has got underway..took the splitboard up for some untracked goodness..

Awesome, how long did it take to get to where you started, looked like a long run!

Epic run, volcanic! Looks like that storm system really delivered the goods. Like NBG, I’m curious about the hike. How long did it take you?

skinned up from the base area about 1600m to 2400m ..800m vert.. had to take the longer approach to avoid skifield avalanche control work..total up 2hrs 10 min..run down was about 500 m of vert..worth every minute when the conditions get that good..hoping for some more next week as we have snow to low levels forecast for the next few days…

Nice stuff Volcanic!!!!!!
