The NZAC Glacier Skiing Course (GSC) is a five-day course designed for strong intermediate (or better) skiers with excellent aerobic fitness wanting to learn the core skills to safely ski on glaciated terrain. Introductory-level familiarity with the use of an ice axe and crampons is required, and can usually be learned from a local NZAC section snowcraft course. This is not a learn to ski course- you should be able to comfortably (but not necessarily stylishly) ski steep ungroomed slopes on a ski field. Telemarkers are welcome but must be VERY high skiing standard for this course. Click here (if you are viewing online) to register, otherwise visit
3 2 At a minimum, those wishing to register for the GSC must be capable of: Skiing all the black diamond runs on your local ski field confidently (not necessarily stylishly). Making turns (again doesn t have to be stylish) in heavy wet snow on steep ground. Confidently performing kick-turn on steep ground to get out of trouble if needed.

On the GSC, participants will learn the following: Equipment- what to carry and why. How to look after your gear. Trip planning and preparation Skins- getting them on and off quick smart without holding too many people up. Skinning- good technique how to lay a good track others will enjoy. Mountain travel -choosing a safe route terrain analysis. Glacier ski travel and crevasse extraction Snow- different snow conditions. What to expect in Mt. Cook NP Navigation- map and compass, altimeter, basic GPS. Navigating in a white out. Weather general and specific to NZ glaciated areas Avalanches- about them and how to avoid the damn things.
