Does thompsons track ever get graded? (te aroha to the summit.)
I heard from someone that it does sometime over summer.
Was wondering if anyone knows if its true. And if so, where you can find out when they are going to do it. I dont want to drive there to find out its closed for maintenance.

The Te Aroha side up to the summit gets a bit of attention from time to time if there logging or theres been another slip but from there down to Katikati its big dollar recovery country if you cant hack it.
