NUMC Backcountry Ski Trip 2022

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! (But maybe not quite as much as last year so we don't have to spend as much time digging our tents out as we do skiing!)

For this one you need to have skiied before and consider yourself a comfortable downhill skier - if that's not you, check out one of our other trips!

Sick of battling the crowds for that sweet, sweet powder and people cutting in front of you in the lift queue? Let's venture a little further afield on a ski trip out in the backcountry.

Vague plan will be to drive down on the 13th of July, hire some gear in Cooma,  and then camp in Jindabyne. The next morning we'll then head up into the snow for a couple of days, exact locations TBC depending on snow conditions and weather. We'll likely start at Whites River hut where there is a nice fireplace and tables and we can hang out and cook inside.  Over the following days we'll explore, possibly move camp and check out some steeper terrain (again pending conditions), before heading back down the hill and home to Newcastle. We will be sleeping in tents.
