The X-Country Ski and Snow Cave experience took place at the Waiorau Snow Farm, Cardrona Valley.

Three days and two nights spent living in an alpine environment at about 1600m. Students x-country skied to the Musterers Hut, where they settled in preparing their first dinner.  Students headed out to check out some sites to dig their caves after tea.  The next day students managed to dig 4 caves, the fourth had a small collapse though. But overnight the caves set very hard and were definitely hard to collapse.
