DESCRIPTION
STATUS
We would like to welcome individuals and teams from across the SAR sector to take part in this event which is a collaborative effort between NZSAR, the DOC Aoraki Search & Rescue Team and the Land Safety Forum. The theme for the day is “innovation”. This allows us to highlight the changing nature of Alpine SAR. We want to provide the sector with opportunities to see and discuss new equipment, rescue techniques, technology, and approaches to alpine search and rescue work. The agenda and more information can be found here.
The two-day conference is the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere and provides a unique opportunity for the alpine community to engage in a series of workshops and presentations that seek to extend their professional skills, knowledge and experience, and contribute to a safer alpine community.
Join us for a social evening and film presentation, followed by a panel discussion facilitated by Dr Ian Snape based on the theme of celebration and preparedness.
‘To the Hills & Back’ is a heart-wrenching documentary that delves into the lives of two backcountry skiers, Katie Combaluzier and Adam Campbell, who navigate through the aftermath of separate avalanche tragedies. Despite never having met, their stories of resilience, unbreakable spirit, and iron will intersect in their shared passion for the alpine wilderness. This film is a testament to human endurance, and the transformative power of adversity.
