It’s snowing! Time to head out into the backcountry and shred some of that sweet sweet pow! Say goodbye to queues and frolic in the winter wonderland of Australia’s Alpine environment! 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!

Due to wanting to take advantage of some better snow conditions, this trip will run during semester. Vague plan will be to drive down on the 24th of August, 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. Throughout the trip 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 on the 27th. We will be sleeping in tents.

Ticket price will cover fuel for everyone, national park fees, camping fees, lightweight dinner and breakfast for the nights we'll be in the backcountry. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at peta.vancamp@uon.edu.au, or flick me a message on fb :) 

Looking forward to skiing with you!
