5 to 7 October 2018, based at Tukino Lodge 40 NZAC members from throughout the North Island attended the ski touring meet at Tukino in early October. Alongside the meet an avalanche course was held. Wellington was well represented with 4 carloads heading north. Saturday was a cracker day - mainly sunny and calm. Many a kilometer was toured with happy faces at day end. Litres of water downed before moving on to celebratory drinks.

The Auckland Red Hot Chilli Peppers certainly stood out. Sunday delivered rain showers and wind. A few hardy souls stayed out to mid afternoon, while most of us were back early for a cuppa and warm up. Thanks to Mac for organising a great meet. Also to our Jenny and Eric for contributing to the organisation.
