Ewe Range Track

Avalanches usually occur from May to November in Oteake Conservation Park. There can also be avalanches outside this period, if there is still snow coverage. If you are going into avalanche terrain, you need to take precautions. You must have the relevant avalanche skills and training. Go with a buddy. Both of you should carry and know how to use an avalanche transceiver, a snow shovel and a probe. Check the ATES rating and the New Zealand Avalanche Advisory.
