The Harris Mountains are set to be made more accessible to outdoor enthusiasts, thanks to a proposed new ski-touring route.

Skiers travelling the sixty kilometre winter-time traverse between Coronet Peak and Treble Cone skifields, will also be able to find shelter with the addition of five new alpine huts.

Arrowtown adventurer Eric Bradshaw is currently constructing the huts, which he's designed using a plastic water tank for the outer shell.
