# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Waiorau Snowgaine 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 06 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 am – Sun, 06 Sep, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: We are excited to announce we have a date for the Waiorau Snowgaine 2026. Snow Farm has had a great start to their season this year, so we are hopeful that will mean there's a good base of snow and maybe a few late season snow falls to give us a proper winter ski orienteering experience!

The Snowgaine is a rogaine with a twist. Teams navigate for 2 or 5 hours to locate as many checkpoints as they can in their chosen time. Competitors can use ski touring gear, snow shoes or cross country skis - the choice is yours! The event is based from the Snow farm and will cover some of the ski trails as well as some awesome backcountry terrain up on the Pisa range.  Competitors need to carry a backpack with spare warm clothes (see gear list) and enough food and drink for 2 or 5 hours exercise.

This event is suitable for all ages and abilities and is very family friendly. We have even had competitors tow their zero year olds around the course in a pulk! We will have a range of courses to cater for children, families and beginner adults. 

After collecting your map you will have some planning time to figure out which checkpoints you are planning. You can go as far you want, or just aim to stick on the nearer trails. Controls are worth different amounts (with the tens number in the control indicating it's value ie - 86 = 80 points).
