New Zealand Mountain Guides Association

The New Zealand Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA) provides training programmes and certification for professional Mountain and Ski Guides in New Zealand.[1]

History

The NZMGA was established in 1974 and joined the IFMGA in 1981. The first professional guide in New Zealand was Ulrich Kaufmann, a Swiss guide, who attempted the first ascent of Aoraki / Mount Cook in 1882.

gollark: Specialized binary prefixes let you use base 2 if you want to for some reason but use the more consistent and easier to manipulate base 10.
gollark: Programmers like base 2, but all other stuff is mostly done in base 10 and the prefixes were designed around that.
gollark: Because it's the standard for other units and we use base 10?
