Bealey Spur

Quality

Located on

This area is popular and easily accessed terrain for ski touring and telemarking. There is a good foot track that leads from the car park at the Bealey Spur settlement (680m). Skis can often be fitted at the tarns at about 1000m elevation after about an hour’s walk. The Bealey Spur Hut (1240m) is reached within another hour or so.
Point 1545 above the hut provides reasonably good runs, though stay away from its southern slopes, as these dive off cliffs into Power Stream.
It is possible to continue as far as Jordan Saddle, and the tarns at the head of Jordan Stream. There are steep pinches in this route and parties should be aware of avalanche and cornice danger.
There is also good skiing terrain on the east side of point 1875 (headwaters of Power Stream) and the south side of point 1907. Ski mountaineering parties, travelling on ski and foot, and using ice axe and crampon, may traverse the whole of the Black Range as far as Lagoon Saddle, and exit on foot to Cora Lynn.
