2025 CNI Basic Snowcraft (BSC) Course

The course is run on Mt Ruapehu over three days and is hosted by the Central North Island NZAC Section. Each course will have a ratio of 4 students to 1 experienced and trained volunteer instructor. Logistically postponement of the course is not an option, so the structure of the course may vary depending on weather conditions, but the content covered will be identical. Cancellation will only happen under extreme weather conditions, with a full refund of costs.

The course fee includes the cost of hire equipment for the weekend (ice axes, crampons, helmet, avalanche safety gear), accommodation for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night,
and dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings.

There will also be several virtual meetings before the instruction weekend to discuss gear requirements, helpful online information, trip planning and weather.

This course meets the required standards for the NZAC Alpine Climbing Pathway, which has been developed to give a clear understanding of how a climber can progress their climbing
skills
