Thinking about heading into the backcountry this winter?

Join leading experts Sam Stevenson, Head of Ski Patrol at Coronet Peak, IFMGA-certified mountain guide Will Rowntree, and Intensive Care Paramedic Jodie Burton from Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust for an evening built around the realities of moving through alpine terrain, and the decision making that separates a good day from a bad one.

Through short talks, Q&A sessions, and hands-on transceiver practice, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to move more safely and intentionally through Queenstown's alpine environment.

Mountain Club Global Membership gives you access to a network of leading clubs around the world. We caught up with Charlotte Instone, who has used her membership across New Zealand, Australia, London, and the USA, to hear how the experience has shaped her travels and connections.

Did anything unexpected happen during your visit to The Battery that perfectly summed up what being part of a global community means to you?

"During my time at The Battery in San Francisco, I met the author of a book I’d just read, then later sat next to an investor working on climate projects. Neither meeting was planned, but that's what made them so memorable. Those conversations left me feeling less like a visitor in San Francisco and more like part of a global community - that’s what's special."

As a Mountain Club Global Member, how did it feel arriving in a city on the other side of the world and instantly having a place to work, connect, or unwind?

"One of the most valuable parts of Global Membership is knowing that wherever I travel, I have a trusted place to land. Arriving in San Francisco, it was reassuring to have somewhere comfortable to work, relax after a day of exploring, or simply enjoy a great coffee. Rather than feeling like a visitor trying to find my way around, I felt connected from day one."

If you could describe the power of having access to a global network of clubs in one sentence, what would you say to someone considering Global Membership?

"Global Membership means that no matter where you are in the world, you're never arriving as a stranger - you're arriving as part of a community."

Our Global membership opens a world of extraordinary experiences. Get in touch with [email protected] to find out more.

In our latest Mountain Club Podcast episode, Paddy sits down with Pete Seligman for a conversation exploring the growing momentum behind through acquisition (EtA) across Australia and New Zealand, and why buying existing businesses is becoming an increasingly compelling alternative to starting from scratch.

Together, they unpack what makes a successful EtA ecosystem, from community and investor alignment to the relationship between operators and the businesses they choose to lead.

The conversation explores succession planning, long-term ownership, and the growing opportunity for entrepreneurs to step into and grow existing businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

Set against the backdrop of Queenstown, Pete also reflects on why places like this are attracting ambitious people looking to build businesses differently, balancing growth, lifestyle, and meaningful connection.

Thank you Pete for sharing your perspective, experience, and insights into the future of ownership and entrepreneurship. Listen to the full episode on the Mountain Club Podcast. Link in comments.
