❄️ NZ North – Juliette’s Memorial Tūkino Snow Run ❄️
It’s nearly been a year since we lost our beautiful Juliette. To honour her memory and celebrate the incredible woman she was, we’ll head to one of her favourite places — the majestic Tūkino track.
🗓 Event Details
📍 Meeting Point: Tukino Lower Car Park (just off SH1)
🕚 Time: 11:00 AM – we’ll wait around 15 minutes before heading up. Please let us know in advance if you’re running late.
From the car park, we’ll make our way up to the lodges. If the upper car park is full, we’ll turn around earlier. There’ll be plenty of time to stop, play in the snow, and enjoy lunch together in the alpine beauty Juliette loved so much.
After heading back down, we plan to camp at Waipakihi — crossing the river to reach the larger sites if conditions allow. If not, an alternative camp at Pokaka Mill (about an hour’s drive from Tukino) is available.
That evening at camp, we’ll share stories, reflect, and remember Juliette — her laughter, kindness, and the impact she had on us all. 💓
🚙 Rig & Gear Requirements
Snorkel – Preferred but not essential (camp location may change if needed)
