What is this blog?

Designed to be an unofficial guide to ski mountaineering in Canterbury, the idea of this blog is that anyone who has skied a peak or a couloir in the region can post photos and information here to inspire and inform others. If you have something to contribute, send photos and a description of the route to:

thecouloircollection@gmail.com

and we will post them up. We will also start a list of contributors so credit can be given where due. If everyone gets out into the backcountry and remembers to take photos, a guide of sorts will form.
To standardise the guide as much as possible we will grade any routes using the "D" system. Details of this system can be found at:

www.wildsnow.com

Routes will also be marked with a green line for the ascent and a red line for the descent.
This guide will only work if the regions skiers take time to contribute and we are really keen to see what everyone is skiing so send us an email.

Getting Started

While on a recent ski tour Duncan Sherratt and I got talking and decided it might be a good idea to set up a blog where people skiing in Canterbury can post reports, and most importantly photos, of couloirs and peaks they have skied. This will then serve to inform others who wish to get out there and ski them and so act as an "unofficial guide".
I'm going to get started so let me know what you think.
