Ski Mountaineering on Mount Cook

If skiing, and exploring a remote mountain is your cup of tea, then I've got an article for you. GreatOutdoors.com has posted an excellent article on Ski Mountaineering Mount Cook in New Zealand, and from the sounds of it, this would be an amazing adventure. The weather sounds...um...unique to say the least, and any thoughts of using a tent are quickly dashed, as the author claims a hut is the only way to go. But the scenery is epic, the skiiing wonderful, and the reward is worth the trip. So, if you're interested in exploring the Southern Alps, by skies no less, than this should give you an idea of what to expect.
