This is in very good weather in 2015 Queens Birthday (as it was then).
I can show these spots because we didn't see any deer but they do show several sunny areas with no snow.
Its a lot more gruesome hunting in the bush where the snow is wet. and not so photogenic.
You really need to have good experience of the NZ mountains in all weathers to launch into North Island ranges when there's snow on the ground. Carry a spare set of gloves and dry socks at all times. Don't get injured. Know how to get down below the snow from wherever you are. Keep yourself dry. Don't sweat.
